Simple Barometer adjustment help needed

After looking into this a little more I see your altitude is only 33’ above sea level. The altimeter setting should not be used at this low of altitude according to Windy.

The best answer to the problem is to calibrate your barometer. You can either send it in to Davis to have it NIST certified, or you acquire a NIST certified barometer that you can use as a reference to calibrate your barometer.

Now since most of us here do this as a hobby you probably don’t want to spend a couple hundred dollars to calibrate your barometer. So what you could do is set an offset in WD to match up with the closest METAR or airport to your location. The down side to using WD to apply the offset is that it only works on live data. If you need to import data from the datalogger it will not have the offset applied.

Or you could do what I did…contact Davis and ask them for the key sequence to calibrate your barometer. Once you have the steps, wait for a time when the pressure is fairly stable and not changing for your area, then adjust your barometer to match the local airport barometer.

Once you make any changes it will take 28 days before you should re-check CWOP analysis to see if your readings are passing MADIS.

add: Here is the sequence for the Vue barometer adjustment, I don’t know if it’s the same for the VP2:

First confirm the elevation is set correctly within the setup of the console. Press & release the 2nd key. Press & release the key. Press the key nine times to display the current Elevation. Use the +/- , to set. Press and hold for two seconds to exit setup. To calibrate your Barometer press the key. Press and release the <2nd> key. Press & hold the (set) key and after the 4th flash of the current barometer reading release the key and you then manually set the barometer. When finished press and release the key to get back to the main weather screen.
