The Weather Book

The Weather Book is a delightful miscellany of everything remotely meteorological. Jam-packed with enlightening facts, practical diagrams and clear explanations about weather phenomena and why they form.
Including:
Weather systems — from electrical storms, heat waves and hail to cyclones and the good-old drizzle
Incredible tales of weather at its most extreme — from the wild winds of the world, such as the Habob, which brings sandstorms to north Sudan, to the hottest spots on Earth, including the Lut Desert in Iran, which gets to a scorching 70.7ºC
Old-school weather wisdom — 'Red sky at night, shepherds delight'.
Refresh your memory from long forgotten school lessons and extend your knowledge on one the most talked about subjects.

Quotes

  • Sol Ríoshas quoted2 years ago
    A red sunset sky is usually caused by reflections from minuscule dust particles trapped high in the atmosphere by conditions that occur before fine weather.

    don’t always get the weather forecast correct, but you can bet that when it isn’t spot on, there’s no one more frustrated than a Met Office forecaster!
  • Sol Ríoshas quoted18 hours ago
    The first of all the gods was Gaia, conceived and bore a child by herself – who became Uranus, Father Sky, who was both her son and husband. Earth and Sky together brought forth numerous children including the Titans, Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires.
