Weather Overview Dashboard
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
a sensor in your backyard. It generates a forecast with pinpoint accuracy -
personalized for your exact location.
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 self-calibrated pressure is tuned in to your location and the
unit is ready for superior weather prediction.
Moon Phase
The moon phase is displayed between 7:00 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. when conditions
allow for moon visibility. The phases of the moon are conveyed through simple
lunar phase icons:
