Extended information

Explanation of terms

Sunny: The sky has less than 30% cloud cover.

Overcast: The sky has cloud cover accounting for 90% or more.

Fog: A large number of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the air near the ground, reducing horizontal visibility to less than 1 km.

Light rain: daily precipitation is less than 10 mm.

Heavy rain: daily precipitation is 25.0-49.9 mm.

Thunderstorm: intermittent precipitation that falls and stops accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Hail: With the intense vertical movement in cumulonimbus clouds, small hail nuclei repeatedly rise, condense, fall and melt, growing into small ice cubes with alternating transparent layers and falling, which has an impact on crops.

Freezing rain: Raindrops frozen on the ground on the surface of objects below 0°C, also known as rain (those frozen by fog droplets are called rime).

Sleet: The temperature near the ground is slightly higher than 0℃, wet snow or rain and snow fall at the same time.

Light snow: The daily snowfall (melted into water) is less than 2.5 mm.

Moderate snow: Daily snowfall (melted into water) 2.6-4.9 mm.

Heavy snow: The daily snowfall (melted into water) reaches or exceeds 5.0 mm.

Frost: When water vapor condenses into white crystals on the ground and object surfaces with a temperature below 0°C, it is called hoar frost. If the water vapor content is low and there is no frost, it is called black frost. It will cause freezing damage to crops and is called frost.

Strong winds: represented by wind arrows, consisting of wind rods and wind feathers. The wind direction pole refers to the direction of the wind and has 8 directions.
