next several hours. The calculation is based on barometric readings for the prece-
ding 24 hours.
There are 5 possible icons for indicating trends :
IMPORTANT:
Meteorological forecasts are not an exact science! No professional institute in the
world is capable of 100% accuracy. The station's forecasts should be considered
an indication only. If you must embark on an extended or dangerous outing (sea,
mountains), confirm the forecasts of the WS700 mobile unit by contacting your
local meteorological institute.
Also, on the sea or in the mountains, weather conditions can change extremely
rapidly,
creating a risk to life . Be vigilant and extremely careful.
IMPORTANT:
Weather forecasts are reliable only if the station has been functioning properly for
at least the last 12 hours.
