A weather symbol is plotted if at the time of observation, there is either precipitation occurring or a condition causing reduced visibility. Wind is plotted in increments of 5 knots (kts), with the outer end of the symbol pointing toward the direction from which the wind is blowing.
An introduction to weather station models including how they display weather variables like temperature, air pressure, dew point, cloud cover, precipitation,...
You should better understand how to read a weather station model now. We’ve covered measurements and common weather station symbols and explained what they all mean and how they look. Here’s a page full of active station plots.
A weather station model tells us about the current state of the atmosphere and how it is expected to change over time. It can give us information on things like temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation.
Sample Station Plot Detailed information about items marked with a (*) is provided below. WEATHER. A weather symbol is plotted if at the time of observation, there is either precipitation occurring or a condition causing reduced visibility. Below is a list of the most common weather symbols: WIND.
Based on a specific report, a weather station model rightly depicts the required information about the weather. Every minute detail regarding the weather is present in a weather report, like temperature, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, wind direction, cloud precipitation, etc.
Commonly, meteorologists display these observations in something called a station model (check out the example on the right), which is a graphical template showing current weather conditions at a weather station (often located at an airport).
This video goes through a step-by-step process in order to decode, read and understand a weather station model.
Weather information at a particular point is transmitted and plotted on a surface map at that stations location. The arrangement of the data around the station location is called a station model and is standardized by international agreement.
