What are the weather signs at three o'clock in two horizontal circles?

The two circles are side by side, with three points on the top and three points on the bottom, indicating (moderate-severe) smog. ?

When observing a certain weather phenomenon, meteorological observers should record the corresponding symbols in the "Weather Phenomenon" column of the observation record book of the day, except for a few phenomena, and also record the starting and ending time. Based on these symbols, combined with the intensity, coexistence and some characteristics of weather phenomena, a group of symbols that can be filled in weather maps are called cartographic symbols.

The following figure shows the symbol table of weather phenomena specified in the ground meteorological observation specification of China Meteorological Bureau.

Extended data

Haze is mainly composed of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and inhalable particles. The first two are gaseous pollutants, and the last particulate matter is the main reason for aggravating smog weather pollution. Together with the fog, they make the sky gloomy in an instant.

The abbreviation of particulate matter is PM, and Beijing monitors fine particulate matter (PM2.5), that is, pollutant particles with aerodynamic equivalent diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns. This particle itself is not only a pollutant, but also a carrier of toxic substances such as heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
