Using the Weather Station
Learning Mode
Self-Calibrating Forecasting uses a unique algorithm to analyze changes in
pressure over a time period (called Learning Mode) to determine your altitude.
After 14 days, the Learning Mode icon disappears from the display screen. At
this point, the self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the unit is
ready for superior weather prediction.
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
the sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -
personalized for your exact location.
Barometric Pressure
Subtle variations in barometric pressure greatly impact the weather. This
weather center displays the current pressure and indicates the direction the
pressure is trending (FALLING, STEADY, or RISING). The history chart lets you
monitor the change in pressure over time.
Humidity Level Icon
The Humidity Level Icon easily conveys a low, high or ideal indoor humidity
level for your home and health:
