So, the easy to understand symbols are to be dropped.
For example the sunshine symbol has been replaced with.... nothing.
You can only tell where the sun will shine by comparing with areas where there will be cloud cover. So if the forcast is for a day of blanket cloud (or blanket sunshine) you will need to analyse how dull or bright the sludge coloured earth is on the weather map. Fantastic.
On the same bent... if there is blanket rain over Northern Ireland the map will be a sea of blue. You will only be able to tell if it is a full map of Northern Ireland, as opposed to a close up of an area, if there are place names written on the map. Progress.

But are you genuinely stupid enough to not understand that 'no clouds in the sky' means 'you will be able to see the sun'?
It seems a pretty obvious link to me.
The Look East graphics looked fairly unspectacular... just like a 3D Sky News map. No doubt there are more spectacular things to come.

Thank you for that rude interlude.
You've missed the point.
As demonstrated by BBC Newsline's Angie... sunshine symbols have been replaced by nothing . You can only contrast with areas where there will be cloud, which is represented by a shadow cast over the map. On the occasions where there is a complete lack of cloud in the sky there will be no shadow on the map with which the viewer can draw a comparison.
Therefore you will only be able to tell that it is a cloud free day by remembering how bright the map looks on a cloud free day, as opposed to how dull it looks on a cloudy day.
