W8681 Memory problems ??

Hi
I fairly regularly clear the memory but let it go to about 20% on the 'clock' and had some very weird results.
Pressure dropped by 20mb in an hour - non existant rain fell - and the wind was all over the place - actually almost calm in reality. Humidity has been stuck at 99% for ages (but that's another issue). Starting Cumulus at just after 8am the over night readings were crazy and the most recent was miles away from what was on the screen. Easyweather.dat had all the same rubbish. Having cleared the memory it seems to function OK again.
Maybe a corrupt memory location - don't know !
Regards
Alan

The problem occurred before you cleared the memory, but all was OK afterwards? Sounds like it may be a bad memory location, yes. The way to find out, I suppose, is to let it get to that level again :)

Normally there's no need to clear the memory at all.
