The weather forecast is meant for the next 12 hours, it may not necessarily reflect the current situation.

 -

The weather icon will flash on display when the rainstorm comes.

 - The 

SNOWY

 weather forecast is not based on the atmospheric pressure, but based on the outdoor 

temperature. When the outdoor temperature is below -3°C (26°F), the 

SNOWY

 weather indicator will be 

displayed on the LCD.
