About this title

Review:

Straightforward text and detailed illustrations give you access to the ins and outs of accurate weather interpretation. Compiling modern meteorology with ancient lore, Watts guides you through the process of weather prediction by taking cues from clouds, wind, and official weather maps--Cruising World

Watts's latest effort, The Weather Handbook, is most informative, understandable and easy to read....I highly recommend this book.--Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

About the Author:

Alan Watts, one-time professional meteorologist, has spent considerable time studying wind changes and short-term alterations in the weather. This, combined with his enthusiasm for sailing which began with the sea scouts, led to his first book. He is also the author of the bestselling Instant Weather Forecasting and Instant Wind Forecasting both published by Adlard Coles Nautical.
