Product Description

This is the perfect book for anyone who finds general weather forecasts frustrating because they don't give sufficient local detail. It answers such questions as: Is it likely to rain, be sunny or windy? Will it be a good day at the beach? Should I take an umbrella to work? Will there be plenty of wind for sailing? Should I water the lawn? Alan Watts, the acclaimed author of the bestselling Instant Weather Forecasting, explains in straightforward terms how to look at the sky and interpret what the clouds indicate about the coming weather. He explains how to combine information given in weather forecasts with the readers own observations to arrive at a correct assessment of what the coming weather is likely to be.

About the Author

Alan Watts, one-time professional meteorologist, has spent considerable time studying wind changes and short-term alterations in the weather. This, combined with his enthusiasm for sailing which began with the sea scouts, led to his first book. He is also the author of the bestselling Instant Weather Forecasting and Instant Wind Forecasting both published by Adlard Coles Nautical.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but not the best, 8 Nov 2006

By	Crispin Nicely "food critic for Pie Monthly" (Swindon, UK) - See all my reviews

This was my first weather book and not my best choice I'm afraid. The fairly scientific and detailed descriptions of weather systems would please many but as a casual enthusiast this was not quite what was required. It might serve as a supporting volume alongside something more accessible and that to my mind would be the Philips Guide to Weather, Forecasting etc which is a beauty. Don't get this as your first or prime information source as it won't be up to the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Primer, 31 Oct 2008

By	Peter Williams "Devon" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this to be an excellent introduction to weather systems; absolutely no maths and lots of diagrams. It contains all the basics for pressure systems and fronts and introduces the importance of the upper atmosphere. It needs to be read more than once and if you are an absolute beginner then the book Instant Weather Forecasting provides a quick summary (and lots more really useful information about clouds).

The book provides a good grounding, enough to be able to move on to "Skew-T" and "Thickness" as found on the netweather.tv site.
