You should attempt to calibrate your weather 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 1oC high you can set an offset for this so that Weather Display uses and stores the correct value.

To adjust the offsets for your weather station, do the following:

  1. On the Weather Display main menu, click Control Panel.
  2. Under Station Settings, click Offsets Limits and Rainfall Totals.

Offsets are available for:

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

Enter offset values as necessary. You can also set your month-to-date and year-to date rain data here, as Weather Display stores the rain totals independently from data stored in your weather station. Click Yes to save your entries.
