This is an example of a synoptic chart. Weather is recorded on the chart using special symbols, which represent the conditions at weather station at that present time. Understanding Weather Symbols

Understanding Weather Symbols Don't panic...

In an exam you would be given a key. Wind Five knots is added for each half a feather. The wind speed is shown by the ‘feathers’. 10 knots. Understanding Weather Symbols Where the wind has come from…. Winds are named after their origin. In an exam you would be given a key.

In an exam you would be given a key. Other conditions... Eight Oktas- cloud cover. Understanding Weather Symbols 5 Heavy Rain. Sometimes a number may represent the temperature. In an exam you would be given a key.

Unusually high winds, considering lack of cloud cover and temperature. Anything wrong? Unusually high winds, considering lack of cloud cover and temperature. Understanding Weather Symbols High temperature but snow! * 21 Snow, but no cloud cover.
