HYSTERESIS
To compensate for fluctuation of the measured data, which may cause the weather alarm to sound constantly if the measured reading is close to your set level, a hysteresis function has been implemented for each weather alarm. For example, if the high temperature alarm is set to +77°F and the current value moves to +77°F, the alarm will be activated (if it has been enabled). Now when the temperature drops to +76.8°F or below and thereafter again increases to beyond +77°F, the data will be blinking, but no alarm will be activated. It has to drop to below +75.2°F (with a

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather.
(Every time a new average pressure value has been obtained (once per minute), this value is compared with an internal reference value. If the difference between these values is bigger than the selected weather tendency sensitivity, the
If the icons do not change, either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too small for the Weather Center to register. So you may adjust the "sensitivity" of the pressure change checking in the setting mode
However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.
The icons displayed forecasts 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.

After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next
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 Center has been designed for use.
