    True i agree.

    But when you get used to 85-90 a drop to 70 is indeed a cold front.
    A 15 degree drop is a big change.

    Oh and incidently the forecast has been updated to mid 60's for Tue/Wed........time to break out the fleece again.[/quote]Unfortunately the OP and anyone else in the UK won't have got used to temperatures of 85 - 90.

    Temperatures of mid 60s &gt; low 70s are more like a UK summer so will feel exceptionally warm to someone arriving who's just come through a UK winter. [msnwink]

[msnwink][/quote]Firstly the weather forcasters call it a "cold front" due to the fact that it is colder than the existing air it is replacing.

    Secondly this forum is not just solely for the UK, so it may be of interest to anyone, including people stateside.

    Lastly i was trying to point out to Cat1 that the weather is changeable right now, storms one minute, 85 degrees next then a "cold front" coming through.

    Sorry for trying to be helpfull!

    Indeen a 'warm front' in the Artic can bring warmer air but that air is still way below zero!!

    Actually at this time of the year when the cold fronts come through in Florida there is a marked change from warm humid to 'fresher' cooler air - which is of course still warm by UK standards but most people will want a sweater in the evenings.

    I live in Florida full time. Most storms of of short duration, less than an hour, and some only a few minutes. They are frequently in the afternoons/early evening than in the morning.

    Thunderstorms were forecast for yesterday, as you said. We spent the day at SeaWorld and although there were three short heavy showers, we witnessed no thunder or lightning. Amazingly we were indoors for all three showers too.
