I don't know the current direction of any fronts but I suspect that this
cold front is travelling in a SE direction. This means it should be with
you shortly, James.



Howard - an excellent idea of where the front is can be seen he

http://www.xcweather.co.uk/

Curently, you'll see the mild SW winds over the south of Wales and England,
and the much colder (and lighter) NE winds to the north of the front.
There seems to be a wave (kink) in the front over western areas. That will
be moving east as the front moves SE.


I had a look at xcweather but it seems to be frozen (if you will forgive
the term g). It was last updated at 1709 and most sites show data as
at 1600.

Thank you for the explanation, though. I am too much of a beginner to
identify the direction of the front from the diagrams. Now you explain
it, I can see what you mean. Working it out for myself in the first
place is a little more difficult.
