Complete Weather Symbols

This page focuses on 28 weather and meteorological symbols. Originating from traditional weather icons, astronomical observation markers, and planetary symbols in astrology, they are widely used in weather forecasts, ephemerides, educational diagrams, and modern interface design. Each symbol encapsulates humanity's visual expression of atmospheric and celestial phenomena.

☀️ Classic Weather & Astral Symbols

☀ (Clear) represents clear skies, Unicode U+2600, LaTeX command \\sun, HTML entity ☀, the most fundamental symbol in weather forecasting.
☁ (Cloudy) indicates increasing cloud cover, Unicode U+2601, \\cloud, ☁, often used in tandem with the clear symbol.
☂ (Umbrella/Rain) represents rainy weather, Unicode U+2602, \\umbrella, ☂, widely used in weather app interfaces.
☃ (Snowman/Snow) indicates snowfall or cold weather, Unicode U+2603, \\snowman, ☃, a typical marker for winter meteorology.
☄ (Comet) symbolizes a comet or meteor, Unicode U+2604, \\comet, ☄, used in celestial records and weather maps to denote special bodies.
★ (Filled Star) and ☆ (Outline Star) often serve as rating or warning markers, with Unicode U+2605 and U+2606, LaTeX commands \\bigstar and \\star, used to emphasize important information in weather warning charts.

🌙 Moon Phase & Planetary Symbols

☽ (First Quarter Moon) and ☾ (Last Quarter Moon) are the basic symbols for moon phases, Unicode U+263D and U+263E, LaTeX commands \\rightmoon, \\leftmoon, often used in tide forecasts and lunar calendar annotations.
☉ (Sun), as a planetary symbol, is also used to denote daytime or solar activity, Unicode U+2609, \\astrosun, ☉.
The planetary symbol series: ☿ (Mercury), ♀ (Venus), ♂ (Mars), ♃ (Jupiter), ♄ (Saturn), ♅ (Uranus), ♆ (Neptune), ♇ (Pluto) are used not only in astronomy but also frequently referenced in meteorology when discussing planetary influences on climate.
Additionally, the asteroid symbols ⚳ (Ceres), ⚴ (Pallas), ⚵ (Juno), ⚶ (Vesta), ⚷ (Chiron), ⚸ (Pholus) enrich the astronomical weather symbol library.

☊ Orbital & Phase Symbols

☊ (Ascending Node) and ☋ (Descending Node) represent the intersection of a celestial body's orbit with a reference plane, indispensable in solar and lunar eclipse predictions. Unicode U+260A and U+260B, LaTeX commands \\ascendingnode, \\descendingnode.
☌ (Conjunction) represents two celestial bodies overlapping in the sky, ☍ (Opposition) indicates celestial bodies positioned opposite each other, often used in astronomical weather almanacs. Unicode U+260C and U+260D, \\conjunction and \\opposition.

📌 Weather Symbol Usage Tips

First, Font Compatibility: Most weather symbols are in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane and display on mainstream systems, but some asteroid symbols (like ⚷) may appear abnormal on older devices; using fonts like Noto Sans Symbols is recommended.
Second, LaTeX Support: It's recommended to load the wasysym or ifsym packages for commands like \\sun, \\cloud; symbols like \\comet might require the astro package.
Third, Entity Encoding: Use decimal entities (like ☀) in HTML for compatibility and ensure the page declares UTF-8 encoding.
Fourth, Moon Phase Direction: ☽ denotes the first quarter moon (crescent facing right), ☾ denotes the last quarter moon (crescent facing left), requiring careful distinction when creating weather charts.
Fifth, SVG/PNG Export: Through the modal, you can copy SVG source code or download a 512px transparent PNG with one click, ensuring consistent symbol appearance across platforms.

💡 Usage Suggestions

Click any weather symbol card to copy its Unicode, LaTeX command, or HTML entity in the modal window. Each symbol supports export as SVG vector code or a transparent-background PNG image, convenient for inserting into weather reports, educational courseware, or mobile weather interfaces. For academic scenarios requiring high-quality typesetting, using LaTeX with corresponding packages is recommended for the most accurate symbol rendering.
