As it says in the FAQ, it uses the "Zambretti" forecast. It uses the same algorithm as on beteljuice's web page here:http://www.dickie.webfusion.co.uk/zambr ... ecast.html

I've just put your current data into that page, and it gave "Fine weather". I'm very sorry that this is apparently not correct for you. If you really need software to give you a forecast, perhaps you should consider buying something like WXSIM, which is actually designed for that purpose.

At the moment your forecast is: Fairly fine, showery later

The Accuweather forecast is cloudy with a few snow showers later.

Are you saying the (Cumulus) forecast is wrong, or are saying your templates weather image is different to the (Cumulus) text forecast ?

No, it's a difference between the prediction of my station and cumulus.
Yesterday, Meteo France announced "snow" on three days, my station announced "Snow" also showed cumulus single "Sun".
But after the post Steve, I made ​​an adjustment of parameters in cumulus.
Default settings in Cumulus (Forecast) Extreme Pressure, Low are: hpa and 950 High: 1050 hpa
I adjusted these parameters to coincide with the reality of my environment. Fine tuning will probably be necessary in the coming days.

There is no such forecast in Cumulus !
I repeat, is it the textual forecast or the weather graphic (or both) which you think is incorrect ?

Yes this is the forecast text and graphics (which are associated)

And for the "sun", yes, it does not exist, I meant "Settled fine"

Hey;mimo57.,I realize that this is a very old post,and nobody could answer your question so I thought I would try to.
I think I know what you have to do,so here-goes.,I be-leave it's do to your "Sea Level" setting.,if it's set too high Cumulus will say it's raining out.,if your sea-level is set too low Cumulus will say it's sunny out.,of coarse It depends on your current pressure at that time what exactly it will say.I hope this works for you!.,Now close this thread! :lol:
