Comparison of cold and warm fronts's characteristics

1, the moving air mass is different, and the cold front is that the cold air mass actively moves with the warm air mass; The warm front actively moves to the cold air mass to serve the warm air mass.

2. Different from the relative position of the low pressure center, the cold front is on the left side of the low pressure center; The warm front is on the right side of the low pressure center.

3. The precipitation of cold front is behind the front in different precipitation areas; Warm front precipitation is ahead of the front.

4. The intensity and duration of precipitation are different. Generally, the cold front has high precipitation intensity and short duration. The warm front precipitation intensity is small, but it lasts for a long time;

4. The weather changes dramatically. Generally speaking, when a cold front crosses the border, the weather will change dramatically. When the warm front crosses the border, the weather changes less than the cold front.
