explain symbols used in a weather forecast report .
Answers
Answer:
It only makes sense to start with the elements most widely associated with weather forecasts, which are off-course the weather symbols. Let's take a look at the most commonly used ones and what they mean.
As you will soon see, the same symbols can be displayed to describe different weather condition by various applications and services. This can be very confusing, so I attempt to the most important weather conditions associated with them..
Hope it's will help you
Answer:
Sunny Symbol
Sunny Conditions
The most well-known of all the weather symbols. This symbol, indicating sunny conditions and clear skies, is also pretty straightforward and rarely used in any other way than to display exactly these conditions.
Partly Cloudy Day Symbol
Partly Cloudy (Day)
The day will be mostly sunny with patches of cloud cover during the day. The cloud cover my grow larger or dissipate throughout the day, depending on future atmospheric conditions, or simply put, "the way the weather is headed in".
Partly Cloudy Night Symbol
Partly Cloudy (Night)
The night will be mostly clear with patches of cloud cover during the day. The cloud cover my grow larger or dissipate throughout the night, depending on future atmospheric conditions, or simply put, "the way the weather is headed in".
Cloudy Symbol
Cloudy
The day/night will be mostly overcast with no or very little clear skies visible. The light color of the symbol normally indicates that no rainfall is imminent (yet).
Overcast Symbol
Overcast
An indication that heavy cloud cover is expected throughout the day/night. This dark symbol is often an indication that rainfall may be possible, but not expected.
Cloudy With Light Rain Symbol
Cloudy With Light Showers
This symbol normally indicates cloudy conditions with light showers scattered throughout the day. These conditions may continue to persist, dissipate, or grow into heavier rainfall later on.
Cloudy With Showers Symbol
Cloudy With Showers
Slightly heavier and more persistent showers are associated with this symbol. Normally these conditions also last longer and can be expected to last the duration of the day, depending on the season and type of weather system.
Cloudy With Heavy Showers Symbol
Cloudy With Heavy Showers
As the symbol and description indicate, heavy persistent showers can be expected. As with normal showers, its duration will largely depend on the season and type of weather system.
Attention should be paid to additional information, like storm and flood warnings, as these conditions can occur during very heavy downpours.
Partly Cloudy With Light Rain Symbol
Partly Cloudy With Light Showers / Cloudy With Light Showers (Day)
These are one of the first symbols that can be very confusing, hence the dual description. Usually, it means the weather will be partly sunny, with some cloud cover & light showers to be expected.
