National Trust - Weather Secrets and Signs

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.
