An invaluable pocket guide to understanding and predicting the weather There's nothing the British love more than discussing the weather and debating what it's going to do next. This pocket-sized illustrated guide reveals what causes the weather and easy ways to make your own forecasts from what you can see and feel around you. Will I need to take an umbrella this afternoon? Does a red sky tonight really mean fine weather tomorrow? Can plants predict the weather? What do those funny shaped clouds mean? Renowned weather expert Dr Simon Keeling answers all these questions and more. And along the way he also shows some of the more unusual and dramatic weather events to look out for. This book is perfect for those planning their next walk or camping trip or even the armchair meteorologist. * Reveals how the weather works and how you can make predictions based on what you can hear, see and feel around you. * Puts weather lore to the test. Does a red sky at night really mean good weather the next day? Can it really be 'too cold to snow?' * Pocket-sized - ideal to carry with you on walks.

* An expert author and supported by the National Trust, who also know a thing or two about British weather.
