Front
Read the highs, lows and fronts on the map, then paint tomorrow's forecast — the advection model grades your call overnight.
How to play
A weather map shows pressure shading, temperature tint, wind arrows, and fronts drawn along sharp temperature gradients. Pick a forecast category from the palette and paint the cells you predict for tomorrow, then resolve overnight to run the advection model and see your accuracy. A streak of accurate days unlocks harder regimes.
- Forecast each cell as Sun, Cloud, Rain or Storm
- Weather advects with the wind, so systems move across the map overnight
- Accurate days build a streak toward tougher weather regimes
Controls
- Desktop: click a category, then click or drag across cells to paint your forecast
- Phone & tablet: tap a category and tap/drag over cells — touch-friendly
Game modes
- Daily: one shared map each day
- Practice: endless maps with difficulty rising on your streak
Tips & strategy
- Follow the wind arrows — rain and storms travel with the flow
- Fronts mark where the sharpest weather change will land
- Low-pressure centres bring clouds and storms; highs bring clearer skies
What you'll learn
Front turns weather forecasting into a paint-and-predict puzzle driven by a real advection model, teaching how fronts move and systems evolve.
- Skills: meteorology, weather fronts, forecasting, advection, prediction
- Best for: roughly grades 6–11 (ages 11–16)
- For parents & teachers: forecasting as a hands-on, model-driven skill.
