Customer Reviews

An excellent primer on the subject

This is an excellent introduction to the subject of weather. The text gives an overview of the various types of weather, their causes, forecasting and how to interpret it, a survey of weather around the world, and ends with an outstanding appendix of resources for further research (grouped by subject matter). Henson discusses weather in a variety of contexts including the literary, political and historical. The charts on weather around the world are very well designed, but consistency of scale on the precipitation and temperature axes would have made comparisons easier.
