Instant Weather Forecasting

Alan Watts

Published by Dodd, Mead & Company, New York, NY U.S.A., 1978

INSTANT WEATHER FORECASTING by Alan Watts (NOT the philosopher Alan Wilson Watts, by the way) is a handy and important quick reference guide that's simple to use. Simply match the sky you see with one of the photos in this book and you have a dead reckoning weather prediction for the next six to twelve hours. It may not be a weatherfax, but for those of us who sail and depend on our informed instincts INSTANT WEATHER FORECASTING can be a lifesaver---especially in having a sense for local conditions. Very fast results. No mounds of text to crawl through. Find the photo and sky that most closely matches what you are seeing, factor in a couple of additional points, and your predictions for the next several hours, or a bit more than that, are likely to be as reliable as any other source you may have. 24 full color cloud formation photos with an chart describing changes to expect in: wind, visibility, precipitation, clouds, temperature and barometric pressure. A book to carry along, not to set on a shelf. Hardcover with brown tweed cloth boards, gold lettering on black shadow boxes on spine, in an as new dust Jacket. Interior is also as new; tight, clean and unmarked. Fine (As New) copy. Copyright 1968. 1st printed in 1968 by Adlard Coles Ltd of London.
