Dumbing down.

Clearly it is thought that a warm front introducing warmer air and
a cold front introducing colder air is too difficult a concept for
the British public to grasp.

If only it were that simple, Col! There are many instances of a cold front
introducing higher temperatures at the surface.

But why not just say "front" in that case? In the context of a weather
forecast the word "weather" seems superfluous, especially when the
presenter only has a couple of minutes for his/her forecast.

That is true, although surely enough cold fronts *do* introduce
cooler air at the surface to make such a description generally sound
for use in media broadcasts.

If they are going down that route I'd rather they just lost the whole
idea of fronts and simply refered to 'bands of rain' instead.
