  If your AcuRite Weather Station isn't receiving the outdoor sensor signal (no bars), try these steps: * Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor, ensuring they are within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. * Position both units at least 3 feet (.9m) away from electronics that may cause interference, such as TVs, microwaves, and computers. * Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in the sensor when the temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Avoid using heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries. * Allow up to 20 minutes for the display unit and sensor to synchronize after replacing the batteries.

Why is the AcuRite Weather Station forecast inaccurate?
- M
  Matthew CruzAug 31, 2025
  There are several reasons why your AcuRite Weather Station forecast might be inaccurate: * The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions. * The Learning Mode icon must disappear from the display unit for the forecast and pressure to be accurate. Learning Mode calibrates for 33 days. * Allow the unit to run continuously for 33 days. Removing the battery or resetting the display unit will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, the forecast should be fairly accurate.

  If the forecast on your AcuRite Weather station is inaccurate, consider the following: * The weather forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions. * Check if the Learning Mode icon has disappeared from the display unit. The Learning Mode must complete before the forecast and pressure will be accurate. Allow the unit to run continuously for 33 days. Removing the battery or resetting the display unit will restart Learning Mode. After 14 days, the forecast should be fairly accurate; however, Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
