The second editon of a book that blends understanding of the latest meteorological science with those "gut-feelings", which can so often be more accurate at a local level than a bland national weather forecast.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
If the general weather forecasts frustrate you because they do not give sufficient local detail or are not always accurate, and you would like to gage more precisely the arrival of rain, wind and other weather elements--then this is the book for you.
It explains in straightforward terms how to look at the sky and interpret what the clouds indicate about the coming weather. It tells you how to combine the information gathered from the weather forecasts with you own observations to obtain a correct assessment of the immediate and future situation wherever you may be.
Everyone is affected by the coming weather--be it for humdrum day to day reasons or in the pursuit of sports or leisure activities. How many times have you asked yourself: Is it likely to be a good day at the beach? Should I take an umbrella to work? Should I water the lawn? Can I expect a good day's sailing with the family? Now you can have the answers.
A professional meteorologist and avid sailor, Alan Watts has written 10 books on weather and weather prediction. He is a regular contributor to Sail, Yachting Monthly and Practical Boat Owner.
