Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 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).
If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial standing point (for
example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), remove the batteries and re-insert them after about
30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not mistake the new location as being a possible change in air-
pressure when really it is due to the slight change of altitude. Again, disregard weather forecasts for the next 12 to
24 hours as this will allow time for operation at a constant altitude.
THE WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons are the weather tendency indicators (located on the left and right hand
side of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the air-pressure is increasing and the
weather is expected to improve, but when indicator points downwards, the air-pressure is dropping and the weather
is expected to become worse.
Taking this into account, one can see how the weather has changed and is expected to change. For example, if the
indicator is pointing downwards together with cloud and sun icons, then the last noticeable change in the weather
was when it was sunny (the sun icon only). Therefore, the next change in the weather will be the cloud with rain
icons since the indicator is pointing downwards.
