WEATHER FORECAST FUNCTION
Your BAR888 detects barometric pressure changes and the LCD
displays the illustrated weather symbols which indicates the
weather forecast for 12 to 24 hours ahead, for an area with a radius
of about 30-50 km.
Important:
1. The accuracy of weather forecasting when using pressure
trend alone is about 70 to 75 percent and, therefore, the
manfuacturers and suppliers cannot be held responsible for
any inconveniences caused by an inaccurate weather fore
cast.
2. The weather forecast symbols may not reflect current weather
condition. The symbols are forecasting the future.
3. A “SUNNY” forecast covering the night-time reflects fine clear
weather.
HOW TO READ THE PRESSURE TREND
The BAR888 gives you the pressure trend for the last hour. It is
indicated by the arrow displayed in the right hand side of the upper
display. An upward pointing trend arrow indicates that it is likely
that the weather is improving or may be getting worse if the trend
(arrow) is falling. Here is what it can look like:
