Default Oregon Scientific weather station predictions

...
I have bought a Oregon Scientific model BAA898HG for £68 It shows
indoor/outdoor temperature, indoor/outdoor humidity, air pressure and a
weather forecast window with symbols. I live less than a mile from Luton
Airport and comparing the airports weather it is not too bad.
Oregon is showing the outside temperature as 20.5C, air pressure of 1024
humidity 54% while the airport is reporting 21C, 1025, humidity 56%.

Since
I got up this morning the Oregon is showing pressure dropping and a
prediction of rain. Is this just a toy and I am expecting too much or is

it
just having a bad day?


Mine says rain too, although it bases this purely on pressure, which has
dropped over the last 24hrs very slowly. A look out of the window should
tell you that rain isn't exactly on its way !
