Weather
frontExplanation
Cold front
(blue line
with blue tri-
angles)If a cold front moves in, the
weather remains changea-
ble and there are often rain
showers and thunder-
storms. The air tempera-
ture decreases.
Warm front
(red line with
red semi-cir-
cles)A warm front may cause
more prolonged steady
rain, more cloud cover and
a slow rise in temperature.
Stationary
front
(red and blue
line with red
semi-circles
and blue tri-
angles)The weather front moves
minimally. The weather
remains changeable in this
area.
Occlusion
(purple line
with purple
semi-circles
and trian-
gles)When the faster cold front
catches up and joins the
warm front ahead of it, an
occluded front is formed.
The weather remains
changeable and rainy
within an occlusion.

ted line with positions and times.
