Weather Overview Dashboard
Weather Forecast
AcuRite’s patented Self-Calibrating Forecasting provides your personal forecast of weather conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours by collecting data from a sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy – personalized for your exact location.
Self-Calibrating Forecasting uses a unique algorithm to analyse changes in pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude. After 14 days, the self calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is ready for superior weather prediction.

Moon Phase
Near your personalized forecast, the moon phase displays between 7:00 p.m. and 5:59 a.m. when conditions allow for moon visibility. The phases of the moon are conveyed through these lunar phase icons:
