Weather Graphs

Q: How do you read a weather forecast graph?
A: Weather forecasts such as those shown on TV often has colors and symbols to represent different types of weather around us. But what do those mean? What colors stand for what amounts of rainfall?
     Well the answers to these questions sometimes depends on what weather channel you watch. The symbols may be the same but the colors may be different or the colors may be the same and the symbols may be a little different.Truthfully, in my opinion, it is a wiser choice to stick to your favorite weather program since all weather programs are a little different.
     On the side is a graph of a forecast map and a picture telling you of the most commonly used symbols. Since it does not have the color key as well, I will go ahead and explain that to you myself. Usually green means rain and usually the darker the green is, the heavier the rain is expected to be. Also UV rays from the sun are shown by the colors green to bright pink most of the time. (Pink being the most UV rays.)
