4.2 Weather forecast
The four weather icons Sunny, Partly Cloudy, Cloudy and Rainy represent the
weather forecast.
The weather forecast symbols indicate an improvement or worsening of the
future weather conditions based on the current weather, which doesn’t have to
correspond exactly with the weather indicated on the symbol.
4.3 Weather forecast tendency indicator
The weather tendency indicators arrow is located between the weather icons to
show the air pressure tendency and provide a forecast of the weather to be
expected by the decreasing or increasing air pressure. The rightward arrow
means that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to become
better. The leftward arrow means that the air pressure is decreasing and the
weather is expected to become worse.
The change of weather forecast icon is in accord to the relationship between
current relative pressure and the pressure change since last twelve hours. If the
weather is changing, weather tendency indicator (animated arrows) will be
flashing. And after the next three hours if weather conditions have become sta-
ble, the arrows will fix indicating a stable condition happened.
Examples of changing weather icons:
Notes to pressure sensitivity setting for weather forecasting:
The pressure threshold can be set to suit the user’s requirement for weather
forecasting from 2-4hPa (default 2hPa). For areas that experience frequent
changes in air pressure requires a higher setting compared to an area where the
air pressure is stagnant. For example if 4hPa is selected, then there must be a fall
or rise in air pressure of at least 4hPa before the weather station will register
this as a change in weather.
4.4 Storm warning indicator
The storm threshold can be set to suit the user’s
requirement for storm forecasting from 4-9hPa (default
4hPa). When there is a fall over pressure threshold
within 3 hours, the storm forecasting will be activated,
the clouds with rain icon and tendency arrows will flash
for 3 hours indicating the storm warning feature has
been activated.
