WEATHER INDEX

At the WEATHER INDEX section, you can press [ INDEX ] key to view the weather index in this sequence: FEELS LIKE →WIND CHILL →HEAT INDEX→ DEW POINT.
FEELS LIKE
Feels Like Temperature shows what the outdoor temperature will feel like. It’s a collective mixture of the Wind Chill factor (18°C or below) and the Heat Index (26°C or above). For temperatures in the region between 18.1°C to 25.9°C where both wind and humidity are less significant in affecting the temperature, the device will show the actual outdoor measured temperature as Feels Like Temperature.

HEAT INDEX
The heat index, which is determined by the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor’s temperature & humidity data, when the outdoor temperature is between 27°C (80°F) and 50°C (120°F).

Heat Index range| Warning|

Explanation

---|---|---
27°C to 32°C (80°F to 90°F)| Caution| Possibility of heat exhaustion
33°C to 40°C (91°F to 105°F)| Extreme Caution| Possibility of heat dehydration
41°C to 54°C (106°F to 129°F)| Danger| Heat exhaustion likely
≥55°C (≥130°F)| Extreme Danger| Strong risk of dehydration/sunstroke

WIND CHILL
A combination of the wireless 5-IN-1 sensor’s temperature and wind speed data determines the current wind chill factor. Wind chill numbers are always lower than the air temperature for wind values where the formula applied is valid (i.e. due to the limitation of the formula, actual air temperature higher than 10°C with wind speed below 9km/h may result in erroneous wind chill reading).

DEW POINT
– The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. The condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface.
– The dew point temperature is determined by the temperature & humidity data from wireless 5-IN-1 sensor.

HISTORY DATA (ALL RECORDS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS)
The main unit will record the past 24 hours of weather data automatically that including past indoor and outdoor
temperature & humidity, baro, wind chill, wind speed, and rainfall records.
