      Where can I find all the symbols explained? Especially symbols for cloud cover and rain.

          There is no clock symbol on the page! Do I need a new version? How?

                So you should see the small clock in the low right corner of your screen.
                Find additional information on symbols here:

                  Hi there,
                  I have the same question but the answer is not given in the links you posted.
                  What I mean by symbols, is the symbol that is below each 3-hour interval of a place. For instance, take a look at the image I highlighted. Where can I find the symbols for these?

                  Thanks,

                    The meaning of the symbols you highlighted:
                    Mostly cloudy
                    Partly cloudy (or mostly sunny)
                    Mostly cloudy (at night)
                    Partly cloudy (at night)
                    P.S. during the night time, the sun symbol is replaced by the moon symbol.

                      What does this symbol mean?

                        @ss1007 that symbol indicates fog

                          Soo, all helpful so far.

                          But is there no help page that simply lists each of the symbols with their explanation?

                          It’s absurd that we have to post screen shots with annotated arrows on to ask about each.

                          Of course, I appreciate the time taken to reply, but the amount of time spent of responding to this thread could instead be spent creating the help page.

                          Just put that in the help contents list and place a link to it here and in the other thread on the topic.

                          What are these two: exactly and how are they different?
