Pressure Trend

The pressure trend arrow indicates the current barometric trend, measured over the last three hours. The pressure trend is updated every 15 minutes. The pressure trend requires three hours of data in order to be calculated so it won’t display right away on a new station. The pressure trend is always indicated on the console screen, as long as the required data is available.
