For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update
accordingly to represent the change in weather.
(Every time a new average pressure value has been obtained (once per minute), this
value is compared with an internal reference value. If the difference between these
values is bigger than the selected weather tendency sensitivity, the weather-icon
changes, either for worse or for better. In this case, the current pressure value becomes
the new weather tendency reference.)
If the icons do not change, either the air pressure has not changed or the change has
been too small for the Weather Center to register. So you may adjust the "sensitivity" of
the pressure change checking in the setting mode –see
WEATHER TENDENCY
SENSITIVITY VALUE SETTING
above.
However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if
the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons
are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not
necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is
cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty
because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the
weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.
Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the
next 48-60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air
pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather
forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the
varying areas the Weather Center has been designed for use. In areas that experience
sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Center will
be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the
time (for example mostly sunny).
