Cold front
The Atmospheric Pressure display layer is activated (Y page 201) and weather data is available.
If a cold front moves in, the weather remains changeable and there are often rain showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature decreases.
Warm front This can mean longer periods
of rain and can lead to an increase in cloud cover and a slow increase in temperature.
Stationary front
The weather front moves minimally. The weather remains changeable in this area.
