5. WEATHER FORECAST
& BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
the unit predicts weather condition for the next 12 – 24 hours
based on the change of atmospheric pressure. the coverage
area is around 30 – 50 km. the weather forecast is based on
atmospheric pressure change and is about 70-75% correct.
as weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted,
we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect
forecast.
