The weather maps are maps that tell you about the weather, just as physical ones — about topography, astronomical — about the stars, and so on.
In general, reading and understanding synoptic maps is easy and fun. However, such a maps are a bit more complicated than regular geographical maps, and a weather forecast you get in a form of tables, graphs and numbers. To read such maps you need some knowledge.
In this collection, we've compiled all the articles, posts and user guides about weather maps to help you understand it and make your outdoor or travel experience better.
