Depressions


Depressions are areas of low atmospheric pressure which produce cloudy, rainy and windy weather. These low-pressure systems often begin in the Atlantic, moving eastwards towards the UK. They are responsible for the UK's changeable weather.
The diagram shows a depression with a leading warm front and a trailing cold front moving from west to east across Britain.
