My point, which I should have made more explicit, was that saying
"weather front" instead of "front" takes an extra second or two, and
when that happens half a dozen times it starts to add up.

But what they should be saying is *warm* front & *cold* front. Best not
have too many of the occulded variety, or they really could run out of
time

I was taken aback a week or so ago when "occluded front" was used on a
forecast. Thought I might have imagined it at first but the forecaster
used it again.

If the BBC object to the use of "cold" or "warm", then the presenters
should just use "front" on its own.
