If you are concerned about the effect of climatic changes on you, then you will find "How the Weather Affects Your Health" is indispensable for explaining the link between the two strongest influences on our lives. The effects that weather sensitivity, climate change, air, heat, cold, solar radiation and violent weather have on us are all presented, with background information on weather related disorders and preventative and remedial advice.
