value. So you have a good 6 hours of air pressure change values. This is a useful
feature when you are planning to head out for a hike or when you need to look
for shelter since it provides an indication of the weather conditions.
Handy tip: Anticipating the weather
You're on holiday and you want to anticipate tomorrow's weather, so you switch
your Suunto Lumi to the BAROMETER profile for the night. In the morning, you check
the weather trend indicator and note that the air pressure remained stable for the
last six hours. Hopefully this will continue during the day!
The weather trend indicator can indicate 9 different patterns in the barometric
trend, for example:
Situation last 3 hoursSituation 3-6 hours ago
Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours)Dropped heavy (>2 hPa/3hours)
Rising heavily (>2 hPa/3hours)Remained stable
Dropping heavily (>2 hPa/3hours)Rose heavy (>2 hPa/3hours)
