Synoptic Charts

The weather is made by the heating and cooling of the air, land and water.

This makes pressure differences across the planet.

A synoptic chart is a map of pressure difference and weather systems.

Mariners read this map to forecast the weather.

Weather maps show areas of high and low pressure.

H = High pressure system
L = Low pressure system
