The weather that occurs as a result of the cold front in South Africa
The weather that occurs as a result of the cold front in South Africa Let’s examine the weather that South Africa experiences as a result of the cold front. Both before and after the cold front, there are two distinct weather patterns.
Weather in front of the cold front
Cool temperatures
Very low pressure
Overcast conditions, cumulonimbus clouds
Thunderstorms
Weather behind the cold front
Cold temperatures
High pressure
Partly cloudy conditions, cumulus clouds
Light rain
Note that as a mid-latitude cyclone moves from west to east, we experience the warm air mass in front of the cold front first, then the air behind the cold front.
