I already explained: The '@' represents a heavy thunderstorm, the 'O' is rain, 'o' is heavy clouds, '.' is light clouds and the rest is clear sky. The 'X' represents your current location.

Not meaning to sound pedantic, but is this honestly too complex for the average player to understand? Perhaps I've lost touch with the average player (or my faith is misplaced), but I hadn't even considered that any mudder might have trouble understanding it, as long as they knew what each character represented.

But if you started criticising the Russian's translation, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to ask you what your alternative translation might be? That's all I'm doing.
