Synoptic Charts

Synoptic charts are detailed weather maps that display current atmospheric conditions across a large area at a specific moment. They show information like temperature, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and weather patterns such as rain or clear skies. These charts use symbols and lines to represent different weather features, helping meteorologists analyze and predict short-term weather changes. By providing a comprehensive snapshot of weather conditions across regions, synoptic charts are essential tools for understanding the overall weather pattern and making forecasts.
