Weather information

Temperature and humidity

This area of the display is divided into two parts. The left part shows the data measured by the wireless sensor; the right part shows the information gathered by the base unit.

Information:

• If “LL.L” is displayed for the indoor temperature, the measuring range of inside temperature is below – 14.2°F.
• If “HH.H” is displayed for the indoor temperature, the measuring range of inside temperature is above +122°F.
• If “LL.L” is displayed for the outdoor temperature, the measuring range of outside temperature is below – 40°F.
• If “HH.H” is displayed for the indoor temperature, the measuring range of outside temperature is above +158°F.

• press once: the maximum values are shown
• press again: the minimum values are shown
• press again: returns to normal display

Press and hold the UP button to delete the highest and lowest temperature and humidity values since midnight.

Information:
The weather station also has a temperature alarm. For more information about this, see Temperature alarm section.

Weather trend

For the temperature and humidity values measured by the base unit and the wireless sensor, the trend is displayed in the form of an arrow:

Air pressure

Changes in the air pressure within the past 12 hours are displayed with an animated bar graph. The classification goes from 0H (current) past – 1 (1 hour ago) to – 12 (12 hours ago). The current prevailing air pressure is also displayed in inHg (inches of mercury) or hPa (hectopascals) alongside the bar graph. In connection with the weather forecast (see the Weather forecast chapter), other weather interpretations are possible. Two examples:

• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure drops quickly and significantly >> heavier rain is likely.
• Weather forecast shows rain, the air pressure in the last 12 hours has risen but then dropped a little in the past three hours >> light rain is likely.

Weather forecast

After setting up initially, the weather forecast can not be used for about 12 hours, as the weather station needs this time to collect and evaluate the weather data. The weather forecast is a result of the collected data and the measured changes in air pressure. The forecast refers to the area around the weather station with a radius of about 30 to 50 km for the next 12 to 24 hours.

1. Sunny

2. partly cloudy
   

3. Overcast
   

4. Rain
   

5. Thuderstom
   

6. Sonwfall
   

7. Heavy snowfall
   

Temperature alarm

• If the wireless sensor measures a temperature between 33.8 °F and 26.6°F, there is a risk of frost and a snowflake symbol  will flash. If the temperature falls below 26.6°F for an extended period of time, the snowflake symbol will be constantly displayed.

Note: Even if the temperature alarm is not displayed, when the temperature is around freezing point, there is generally always a risk of frost and/or black ice. The outdoor sensor can only measure the local temperature in the place where it is installed.

Information: Only applies if more than one wireless sensor is in use: For the temperature alarm, the wireless sensor with the lowest sensor number is always analysed.

When the symbol for the weather forecast begins to flash and the air pressure falls, this is a sign that the weather is getting worse, e.g. due to an approaching storm front. When the air pressure increases again, the symbols display continuously again. An arrow shows the weather tendency. If it is pointing up or down, the air pressure has risen or gone down more than 0.059 inHg (2 hPa) in an hour.

rising air pressure = weather will improve
constant air pressure = weather will stay the same
 falling air pressure = weather will get worse
