The role of meteorological symbols:

The surface weather map uses special symbols to represent important information such as front, cloud cover and precipitation. For example, the letter "H" stands for high pressure, which means the local weather is sunny and the temperature is high. The letter "L" is often used to indicate low air pressure, often accompanied by precipitation. Various symbols are not only used to identify front areas and other ground weather boundaries, but also to indicate the current weather at different locations in the weather map. The precipitation range is helpful to determine the type and location of the front.
