Synopsis

Did you look up at the sky today, or check a weather forecast? We can’t avoid the influences and impacts of weather. It controls transportation, recreation, aviation, and your planned vacation. Weather is a big factor in our moods, sometimes from something as simple as the difference between a sunny, mild day, and a cloudy, wet day. Weather plays a tremendous role in everyday life around the planet, with extreme cost in dollars and lives when events like hurricanes, ice storms, tornadoes, or heatwaves impact communities and regions. Nearly all living creatures and plants contend with cycles and patterns in our atmosphere.

Meteorology manifests beauty in clouds and rainbows, sustenance in the water cycle, and hazards from time to time. Weather Things you Always Wanted to Know answers the full spectrum of common weather and climate questions, in simple language for adults to high school students. It’s a full lesson in the science of meteorology without a lot of math, and without tuition!
