Weather
frontExplanation
Cold front
(blue line with
blue triangles)If a cold front moves in, the
weather remains changeable
and there are often rain
showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature decrea-
ses.
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 trian-
gles)The weather front moves
minimally. The weather
remains changeable in this
area.
Occlusion
(purple line
with purple
semi-circles
and triangles)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 occlu-
sion.
