Short video by the BBC (3 mins) showing how weather symbols have evolved into their common form today. Pretty funny looking at the early ones which were obviously designed by scientists and not for the viewer.

Nice video. Some of those early symbols are crazy!

Reminds me of some issues iOS has had with it's weather icons:
