dispatches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'weather front for ships' is the definition.
'dispatches' can be an answer for 'ships' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'weather front for' bit.

'left spain after report' is the wordplay.
'left spain' becomes 'es' (es is an abbreviation for Spain. I am not sure about the 'left' bit.).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'report' becomes 'dispatch' (dispatch is a kind of report).
'es' put after 'dispatch' is 'DISPATCHES'.

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dispatches that I've seen before include "Sends" , "ships" , "messages" , "communications" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
