On a station model, reading the temperature is pretty easy. The number located in the upper-left corner of the model is the station temperature expressed in degrees Fahrenheit (or Celsius, depending on the country of origin).

- Temperature. I think the model temperature is pretty self-explanatory. This is the temperature at the time of the observation or at the last update.
- Wind Speed and Direction. I think this is the most fun symbol on a station plot. Wind is indicated with a flag-shaped pattern. The direction the flag comes into the center circle is the direction the wind is going.
- Pressure. The sea-level pressure show is in tenths of millibars (mb), however the first digit or two is always left off. It will always be a 9 or 10 in front of the 3 digits, whichever gets the number closer to 1000.
- Sky/Cloud Cover. The center circle is the location of the observation, but the symbol itself also indicates what kind of sky cover was present during the observation.

May 12, 2022 · A weather symbol is plotted if at the time of observation, there is either precipitation occurring or a condition causing reduced visibility. Wind is plotted in increments of 5 knots (kts), with the outer end of the symbol pointing toward the direction from which the wind is blowing.
As I did with temperature, dew point, visibility, and present weather, I'll briefly describe each variable and its common units of measurement (if applicable), and then describe how to interpret it on a station model.
