Types of Weather Fronts – Understanding Their Characteristics
A sudden shift from a sunny day to a stormy afternoon is often caused by the collision of different air masses. These boundaries, known as weather fronts, are the main cause of most weather phenomena. Understanding the different types—cold, warm, stationary, and occluded—helps you predict whether you’ll face a brief thunderstorm or days of drizzle. Each has unique characteristics that shape the surrounding weather.
