- The decimals in the temperature readings are probably not very accurate and can be discarded, maybe allowing one
to limit temperature readings to use 3 × 8 bits.

- Atmospheric pressure [should be](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_atmospheric_pressure_records_in_Europe) in
the range of 87.0 to 109.0, hence a variation of only 22 kPa. With one decimal and an offset of 85 this would
easily fit in a single byte.

- Providing hPa rather than kPa seems to be more common.

- Readings for pressure and NO<sub>2</sub> can, if all is well, not be negative.

- After determining that the readings are okay, one should stop sending the minimum and maximum values.
