I know y'all are having fun with this thread, but in
case Andrew's inquiry is at least half-serious:

It won't be listed under the heading "Weather symbol" in
the final charts, but instead under "Miscellaneous symbol".
The current charts are a beta production, based on
preliminary name list annotations derived from the WG2
meeting last December in Tokyo. The editorial committee
is busy improving the name list annotations -- and eventually
an improved set of charts, with many fixes, will be posted
for your delectation. In case it is raining, you can sit
and have a cup of coffee (or tea) while you wait for them.
