"In this Very Short Introduction Storm Dunlop explains what weather is, what causes it, and how we measure it. Analysing the basic features of the atmosphere, its major wind systems and ocean currents, he shows how these drive the weather we experience."--Book cover.

Geen twee wolken zien er hetzelfde uit en de lucht ziet er elke dag weer anders uit. Het weerboekje behandelt een groot aantal van deze verschijnselen: van wolken tot poollicht, van tornado's tot bijzonnen, van bliksem tot parelmoerwolken. De volgende onderwerpen worden behandeld: de indeling van de wolken, hoe u de verschillende wolkentypen kunt herkennen en welk weer u daarbij kunt verwachten, wolkenvorming, optische verschijnselen, neerslag,wind, zwaar weer en weersystemen. Met de vele kleurenfoto's en tekeningen is het weerboekje het perfecte middel om te begrijpen hoe het weer in elkaar zit en om te voorspellen of u een paraplu bij de hand moeten houden.
