Old Data Indicator

A old data indicator light tells you that at least one of your forecast days has stale, out-of-date data that requires your attention.

By default, this icon appears when weather data is more than three (3) hours old, though this stale data value is system configurable. Contact Bannister Lake Support for assistance.
