Reading the Clouds: How You Can Forecast the Weather

By Oliver Perkins

Wouldn't it be useful to be able to accurately predict the weather simply by reading the clouds? Well, with this book, you can! TV forecasts, online predictions and smartphone apps are all based on the same data - a number-crunched overview of how air pressure and temperature affect the weather over a large geographical area. But this won't necessarily give you an idea of how the weather will develop in your specific location. Whether you're walking, sailing, golfing or fishing, you don't need any equipment or a wifi connection to get an accurate forecast - you just need to look up. With this at-a-glance guide to the clouds you will gain a broad understanding of why clouds are symptoms of weather patterns, not causes. By reading these signs in the sky and referring to the explanatory photographs, you will be able to predict the weather by recognising cloud shapes, colours and behaviour. This second edition has been revised and expanded to include plenty of new photos covering every possible view of the sky. It will be an invaluable companion for everyone who enjoys time spent outdoors.
