7. I1 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 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 It 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 48 60 hours This will allow sufficient time for the 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 Weather station has been designed for use In areas that experience sudden changes in weather for example from sunn
