• Detailed NWS forecast for zip code or current location
• Historical data and graphs for Today and Yesterday
• Alarm notifications customizable in the Cloud Weather Server

Aux Screen displays dew point, wet bulb temperature, heat index, wind chill, rain accumulation for week/month/year, rain rate, and solar radiation.

Wind Screen displays wind averages of 3 seconds, 2 minutes, and 10 minutes; wind gusts of 10 minutes and 1 hour; 30-second vector mean wind speed and direction; and wind direction standard deviation.

Trend Screen displays the following graphs

• Temperature graph shows air temperature and wet bulb temperature. Below the graph, min, max, and avg data for the two parameters along with dew point.
