A practical and absorbing guide to understanding and interpreting the weather, and making your own forecasts.   Grounded in the latest science, this beautifully illustrated book is the complete guide to all things weather, from how our global weather systems work to freak events and other-worldly phenomena, as well as all you need to know in order to make your own forecasts.   Packed with beautiful photography and useful diagrams, and avoiding technical jargon, The Weather Bible sets the scene with a comprehensive overview of global and regional weather, as well as local effects in the mountains and at the coast, including unusual phenomena you might see when out and about. Author and scientist Kevin Sene then looks at the latest observation and forecasting techniques and their strengths and limitations, showing you where to find observations and forecasts online as well as how to make them yourself, whether it’s getting a hiking watch or setting up your own personal weather station.   The section on making your own forecasts helps you take on the professionals, with tips on interpreting the clouds and extrapolating local trends, along with scientific insights into well-known weather sayings and folklore. The final section looks to the future: the science of climate change projections and what we can learn from historical extreme weather events, and how we can improve climate resilience into the future.   Richly illustrated throughout with fact boxes on topics such as spectacular weather (tornadoes and inversions), weather lore (red sky at night), and how professional users such as pilots, sailors and mountaineers interpret forecasts. The Weather Bible is a wonderful treasure trove of fascinating and practical information for the armchair reader and anyone who spends time in the great outdoors.
