You should try to calibrate your station to improve the accuracy of your weather observations. Weather Display provides a set of offsets which allow you to tune your data. For example, if you know that your outdoor temperature sensor always reads 1 degC high you can set an offset for this so that Weather Display uses and stores the correct value.

Offsets are set from the Setup, Enter Barometer Offset/... menu. Offsets are available for:

  • Barometer
  • Temperature
  • Humidity (Inside and Outside)
  • Wind Speed
  • Wind Direction
  • Rainfall
  • Time of Day
