Galaxy Sensors

[Duane Crawford]

I have health concerns relative to atmospheric pressure (Vertigo). I check it at least daily. The inHg reading in Sensors is significantly different than Accuweather and the National Weather Service. Why?

Thank you.

Because the phone is making a measurement where you are standing at that time, while those other services are making broad-brush predictions about a relatively broad area at some assumed standard altitude?

You could always check the phone against a barometer (if you have access to one you know is reliable), to get an idea of how accurate its reading is.
