WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY:
The weather forecast icons (Weather girl):
One of the 15 different weather icons (featured by Weather girl with different clothing) is
displayed in the centre of LCD, which indicates the different forecast weather condition due
to air pressure level (Sunny, Sunny + Cloudy or Rainy) and the current outdoor
temperature (Temperature value detected by Channel 1):

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update
accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means
either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather
Station to register. 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 Station has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden
changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather Station will be more
accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for
example mostly sunny).
