Setting Up a Weather Station and Understanding the Weather: A Guide for the Amateur Meteorologist

This fascinating and well-illustrated book, which is packed with valuable information and advice, provides a complete guide to observing, recording, and understanding the weather and to setting up an amateur weather station. As the author explains, the advent of relatively modern electronic weather sensors means that weather observing is now within the reach of almost everybody. Moreover, thanks to computer software and the internet, it is easier than ever before to record and share with others your weather data and observations.
