Weather Forecast Icons
The weather forecast of the weather station is one of the most interesting features. Although, of course, the weather
station cannot replace the professional weather forecast on the radio, television or Internet through highly-qualified
meteorologists, it is remarkable that a precision of about 70% can be achieved, only based on readings and
monitoring of the barometric pressure of the past days.
Sunny
Slightly overcast
Cloudy
Slight precipitation
Heavy precipitation
Thunderstorm (icons may be displayed in addition to the icons above)
Snowfall
In the following, you will find additional explanation regarding the icons and their meaning:
• If "Sunny" is displayed at night, this indicates a clear, starry night.
• The "snowfall" display appears instead of "rain" when the outside temperature is below 0°C (temperature
measured over outdoor sensor "1", which therefore should not be in a basement room but outside!).
• The display does not represent the current weather conditions but it is a forecast of the next 12 to 24 hours.
• The calculation of the weather forecast based on the barometric pressure results only in a maximum accuracy of
about 70%. Therefore, the weather may be completely different on the next day. As the measured barometric
pressure is only valid for a region with a diameter of approx. 50 km, the weather may change quickly. This is
especially true in hilly or mountainous locations.
Therefore, don’t depend on the weather forecast of the weather station, but inform yourself locally when you would
like to hike in the mountains, for example.
• In case of sudden or larger barometric pressure fluctuations, the display icons are updated to indicate the weather
change. If the display icons do not change, either the barometric pressure did not change or the change occurred
so gradually that it cannot be registered by the weather station.
