Meteorological charts

Station Circle These symbols summarise a surface met. observation. The circle denotes the position. Pressure is in tenths of mb with the leading 10 or 9 omitted; thus 107 is mb. Temperature is in tenths of a degree, i.e 57 = 5.7 °C Wind is in knots – 1 knot = 0.5 ms -1. The arrow points along the wind direction. This symbol is called a wind fleck.
