Reading the Weather

We all live under the same sky – but how many of us actually know how to read it?

In Reading the Weather, renowned meterologist Laura Tobin lifts the lid on the fascinating, sometimes surprising science behind the weather, including: where jet streams come from, what clouds are trying to tell us, why high and low pressure matters, and how extreme weather will shape our future.

Along the way you’ll discover how weather has shaped history – from the two storms that preserved an independent Japan to the success of the D-Day landings – plus curious facts, field tips, and vivid examples of extreme weather from every corner of the globe. Because the weather isn’t something we simply live beneath, it is everything under the Sun and more.
