Black fog weather11/29/2023 ![]() Carriages ran against each other, and persons were knocked down by them at the crossings. On the 22nd of the month, accidents occurred all over London, from a remarkable fog. Did he remember the fogs, and how very short the day is, for labour, during a portion of the year? King Charles’s saying of the English climate is often brought up that it interrupts outdoor labour fewer days in the year than any other. I am tempted to ask, how the English became great with so little day-light? It seems not to come fully out until nine in the morning, and immediately after four it is gone.

Weather Icons Looking for weather symbols?.The images themselves would also always be animating – so for example, the difference between hail (falling quickly and vertically downwards) and snow (drifting more slowly and diagonally) is clearer. The centre of each panel would always include a colour-coded temperature disc (hence no ‘sun’, just blue sky). These new weather symbols were initially designed for a very specific function – to combine the cloud symbol and temperature disc into a single square area to use on outlook charts and city league tables on TV forecasts. 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.

They are based very closely on the versions originally designed by Mark Allen in 1974 and subsequent revisions by BBC graphic designers.
