icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better
(with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes.

The icons displayed forecasts the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny
or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is
displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air
pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy.

Note:
After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 12-24 hours. This will
allow sufficient time for the Weather station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and
therefore result in a more accurate forecast.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather forecasting
feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas the Weather station
has been designed for use in. In areas that experience sudden changes in weather (for example from
sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to use in areas where the weather is
stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
