✦ Synopsis

This paper analyzes the weather forecasts as a particular specialized text class. A data model of that class is created. It serves as a basis for the automatic transformation of weather forecasts from textual to cartographic form. The method proposed consists of data extraction, data translation and map generation. These stages are discussed in detail. A program system that implements this method is developed and an experiment designed to reveal the validity of the method is described. Some suggestions for future development of this work are made.
