There are also probably a few other minor differences between my versions here and the ones that ended up appearing on the BBC’s weather website. You might spot that the ‘sunny day’ icon (1) is a blue square with no yellow sun and there’s also no sun peeping out from behing the clouds in (3). Below is a static test sheet showing the 33 weather codes using the new symbols. I made animated overlays in After Effects to show light and heavy rain, snow, sleet etc. half white cloud, day and night, full cloud (white and grey) etc. The first images were built up from a basic set of backgrounds e.g. They are :Īlso as part of the 2005 redesign I looked at developing a new set of weather symbols to tie in more closely with the more ‘realistic’ representations of weather types that appear now on the TV weather maps. The remainder have been represented variously by plain text or images.
Here is a list of the codes and the associated ‘old school’ BBC Weather symbol that was used for each weather type. They were rarely seen on national TV after the 2005 redesign, but this weather symbol set survived for a number of years in places on the BBC’s weather website. For many years these have been shown graphically using the familiar ‘fluffy cloud’ icons on weather maps. The Weather Centre use a set of codes to represent various meteorological scenarios. They are based very closely on the versions originally designed by Mark Allen in 1974 and subsequent revisions by BBC graphic designers.
