Pressure Trend
The pressure trend arrow indicates the current barometric trend,
measured over the last three hours. The pressure trend is updated
every 15 minutes. The pressure trend requires three hours of data
in order to be calculated so it won’t display right away on a new
station. The pressure trend is indicated on the console screen, as
long as the required data is available.
Wind Chill
Wind chill shares the same
section on the console as dew
point and heat index, below
the barometric pressure
variable, next to the wind
compass rose.
1. Press 2ND then press CHILL to select wind chill. Wind
chill is displayed in either Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C)
in whole degrees. See “Selecting Units of Measure” on
page 26 for more information on changing the unit of
measure.
If the unit of measure for any temperature-related weather variable is
changed, the unit of measure also changes for all temperature-related
variables. See “Inside and Outside Temperature” on page 18 for more
information.
The console uses the ten-minute average wind speed to calculate wind chill.
2. Press WxCEN to display the weather information available for wind chill in
the Weather Center.
3. Press WxCEN twice to scroll through the wind chill-related Weather Center
screens, which include:
• Minimum Wind Chill — Displays lowest wind chill measurement for the
day and the time it was recorded.
• Maximum Wind Speed — Displays the maximum wind speed for the
day and the time it was recorded.
Dew Point
Dew point (outside only)
shares the same section on the
console as wind chill and heat
index, below the barometric
pressure variable, next to the
wind compass rose.
