Pictograms: weather conditions
Weather conditions are graphically summarized by pictogram symbols (see graphics). These show sunshine , clouds, precipitation type and intensity and thunderstorms for the time period referenced in the forecast. Detailed symbol description are shown below.
Pictograms can be combined with tables to show temperature, winds and other numeric values of importance - see Picto-cast.

How Pictograms are calculated
meteoblue Pictograms show the most likely weather conditions for a location, based on a very detailed analysis of local forecast (black squares) in an area (yellow square). The area considered is within 20-30 km of the chosen center point location (e.g. green point: Évian). For each point, a different pictogram is calculated. Main factors considered are:
Pictogram calculation combines the regional and local forecasts to match our perception: sunshine and cloudiness are perceived regionally, whereas precipitation, wind and temperature are perceived locally. By combining very detailed local conditions within a chosen area, meteoblue can make pictogram forecast for any location in the world, for areas, regions and even entire countries where necessary. Examples can be found under the local forecast as well as the world "weather" tab. |
