Displaying the Forecast

Displaying the Forecast

Your console generates a weather forecast based on the barometric reading & trend, wind speed & direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, latitude & longitude, and time of year. Included in the forecast is a prediction of the sky condition (sunny, cloudy, etc.) and changes in precipitation, temperature, wind direction or wind speed.

Press FORECAST to display the forecast. The forecast ticker message at

the bottom of the screen predicts the weather up to 48 hours in advance.

FORECAST

The forecast is updated once an hour, on the hour. Predictions are made for cloud cover, temperature trends, the likelihood of precipitation, timing, severity and windy condi- tions.
