WEATHER FORECAST AND WEATHER TENDENCY
WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:
Sunny Cloudy
with
sunny
intervals
Rainy
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 displayed icon 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.
