Weather School Musing...Fronts & Satellite Picture

[simonjk]

Hi,

An interesting satellite picture this morning, which clearly shows the frontal structure within the cloud.

I’ve attached the picture below, and it clearly shows the relationship between the cloud patterns and fronts.

Just thought it was a good example to see how fronts relate to the real world!

Best wishes,
Simon

Interesting - can you get these from the internet?

Personally I use rainfall radar as the best check on the progress of fronts, they're updated every 15 minutes with about 30 minutes delay.
