atmospheric 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 weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden
changes in weather (for example from sunny to rain), the weather station will be more
accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for
example mostly sunny).
If the weather station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initial
standing point (for example from the ground floor to the upper floors of a house), discard the
weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours. By doing this, the weather station will not mistake
the new location as being a possible change in atmospheric pressure when really it is due to
the slight change of altitude.
WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR
Working together with the weather icons is the weather tendency indicators (located on the
right sides of the weather icons). When the indicator points upwards, it means that the
atmospheric pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve, but when
indicator points downwards, the atmospheric pressure is dropping and the weather is
expected to become worse.
