FORECAST ICONS INACCURATE
The Professional weather station predicts weather condition of the next 12-hours
based on the change of atmospheric pressure with 70-75% accuracy.
Note: As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we are not
responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
Animated Forecast Icons:

Cloudy
Rain
T-Storm
Snow
Note: The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the
