WEATHER FORECAST ICONS:

The Weather Station unit predicts weather condition for the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.

THIS STATION LEARNS!

Please allow 3-4 weeks for barometer calibration to generate an accurate forecast.

IMPORTANT: As the forecast station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the forecast station operates in one location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.

The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

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 Forecast Station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Forecast Station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
