G.Weather Tendency Arrows

1. Along with the forecast icon there is a pressure tendency arrow.

2. There is one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD).

3.These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.

4.An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good.

5.An arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor.

6.No arrow means the pressure is stable.

7.A storm can be expected if there is a drop of 4 hPa or more in less than 6 hours. The clouds with rain icon will be displayed and the tendency arrow that points down will be flashing—indicating the storm warning feature has been activated. The flashing will stop when the air pressure stabilizes or begins to rise.
