A synoptic chart is any map that summarises atmospheric conditions over a wide area at any given time. They are used to give an overview of the weather conditions, using data from a number of weather stations and satellites. By working together to create these maps meteorologists can work together to make more accurate predictions. There are many different types of weather map, but they all use the same symbols which have been internationally agreed. Weather symbols can seem confusing until you look for patterns.
