Handy tip: Anticipating the weather
You're on holiday and you want to anticipate tomorrow's weather, so you switch your Suunto Lumi to the BAROMETER profile for the night. In the morning, you check the weather trend indicator and note that the air pressure remained stable for the last six hours. Hopefully this will continue during the day!
The weather trend indicator can indicate 9 different patterns in the barometric trend, for example:
Situation | Situation last 3 hours |
Dropped heavy (>2 hPa/3hours) | Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) |
Remained stable | Rising heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) |
Rose heavy (>2 hPa/3hours) | Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours) |
