Product Description
Review
'This is the enlarged and updated third edition of a well-known book by a much respected meteorologist. There are some neat diagrams, with excellent photographs really relating to the text. It enables people, having got the general forecast, to make the best choice of routes. If you want to learn about mountain weather, as any sensible hill-walker or climber should, then this is as good a book as you'll find.' Irish Mountain Log / Winter 2006
Product Description
The third edition of this popular guidebook aimed at helping walkers and climbers to plan their activities so as to avoid the inconvenience, or even danger, posed by bad weather in the UK mountains. The book provides an understanding of our complex and ever-changing weather that will enhance the mountain experience for all outdoor enthusiasts. Based on the latest weather research, and illustrated with maps and satellite imagery, the guide helps you to understand weather maps and forecasts and to 'read' the weather on the hills. With experience, you can develop the skills not only to interpret forecasts, but to anticipate changes in the weather by reading the environment around you.

What a cracking little book. Remember all of that weather stuff you learnt at school and can't quite remember if you've got it right?
This book is a must for all hill walkers and mountaineers. It's split into three sections. Weather forecasts, well, explains about weather forecasts. Weather maps explains all of those funny lines and symbols.
But it is section 3 that is the most interesting, for it explains how mountains create their own weather - on the tops and in the valleys. Fascinating stuff.
I've pondered buying this for years. I wish I'd read it a long time ago.

this book is very poorly writtern if you are a novice trying to understand how weather works, its more like a toffee nosed I SPY book, get Hillwalking by Steve Long or go to Met Office on line!
