Weather Maps
Weather maps use lines, symbols, and colors to show weather in a specific area, making it easy to see how the weather changes from one city to another.
Some weather maps include multiple conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and wind, while others focus on just one.
The map you see here shows air pressure. Look at the curved lines on the map. These are called isobars. They connect places with the same air pressure. The unit used for measuring air pressure is a millibar.
You can also see red Ls and blue Hs on the map. These show low-pressure and high-pressure regions.
The map also shows lines for fronts, where red indicates warm fronts and blue means cold fronts.
Temperature maps show how warm or cold different places are.
Some temperature maps have lines called isotherms, which connect places that have the same temperature.
