Cumulus Support

Hello Chaps, I've just installed MX on Win7 and noticed that on the settings pages the upper and lower settings for air pressure are not being displayed correctly on the gauges.

Regardless of the input value the gauges allways display a range of 980 to 1030mb.

I'm also noticing that using MX's internal forcaster, Well it keeps predicting rain? Even though the last two days have been sunny and fine.

So I was wondering if this was tied into the incorrect pressure setting

I hope I'm not replicating previous reports, but I couldn't find any reference to this issue anywhere else on the forum. This is with version 3025.

Kind Regards Paul

The pressure extreme settings are just for the forecast. I believe the extremes shown on the gauges are the all-time high and low for your station.

Hi Steve, Wow fast reply. The settings page does allow me to input changes but the changes are not reflected on the Gauges. I'll keep an eye on the gauges to see if the displayed ranges do infact follow the new pressure limits as they occur.

Does the internal forcasting utilize the user input pressure limits or does it use the "Learned" limits from the users location?

Regards Paul

The pressure extremes in the 'forecast' part of the Station Settings are just for the forecast, and those are the only extremes used by the forecast. These settings have nothing to do with the gauges, the gauges display the high and low from your all-time records. The pressure extreme settings do not affect your all-time high and low, they are separate settings just for the forecast. The pressure extremes used by the forecast do not need to exactly match your actual recorded high and low, and in most cases they would not.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the explanation, the penny as they say has now dropped!
