Weather forecast

The station predicts weather condition for the next 12 - 24 hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure change and is about 70 - 75% correct.4 kinds of graphics:

sunny partly sunny cloudy rainy

Atmospheric pressure unit is HPA or INHG. When setting the time, you can choose the measuring unit.

The station automatically detects the atmospheric pressure changes accordingly to display the symbol to forecast weather (1). This forecast concerns the 12/24 hours.

For example: If the station detects high atmospheric pressure, the display will show the symbol of the sun, but externally it could rain, because the provision relates to the 12/24 hours.

Note: The weather forecast symbols may not reflect current weather conditions.

They relate only to future conditions. Predictions cannot be 100% secure due to various factors.

The manufacturer is not liable for any damages or situations caused by an incorrect forecast.
