Barometric pressure "rising"... at -0.4 hPa/hr?

My first post so I may be in the wrong forum area...

My web page often shows a contradictory entry in the pressure area on the 'now' page like it does right now:

Barometer 1016.8 hPa Rising -0.4 hPa/hr

It says on the left pressure is rising, but the value on the right (clearly) shows the pressure is dropping.

I'm using a WS2306 station - if anyone who has any ideas needs more info on my software/hardware, fire away and I'll fill in the blanks.

Cheers.

The most likely answer is that the text is coming from your station. It presumably determines the trend in a different way to Cumulus. If you want to display the Cumulus string, then you need to select "Cumulus pressure trend names" on the station settings screen.

Hi Steve,

Spot on as always! I've changed that setting and the page now shows correctly.

Cheers.

Tim.
