Weather Symbols in Forecasts

Meteorological forecasts use standardized symbols that map to Unicode characters. The basic set includes: ☀ (clear), ⛅ (partly cloudy), ☁ (overcast), 🌧 (rain), 🌧 (heavy rain), 🌨 (snow), ⛈ (thunderstorm), and 🌫 (fog). These symbols originated in weather map notation and have been adopted as emoji by Unicode.
