WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS:

Note: The weather forecast icons of this indoor weather station are a prediction of what the weather is going to do in the next 12 to 20 hours. These are not indications of the current weather.

Weather icons in the fourth section of LCD can be displayed in any of the following combinations:

Sunny

Cloudy with sunny intervals

Rainy

For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the indoor weather station to register. 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. This simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the indoor weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast.

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 indoor weather station has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the
