Look up at the sky, or even just around you, and you'll often see exciting and constantly changing processes in the atmosphere. You see clouds come and go, fog build up and dissipate again, dazzling rainbows and sparkling snowflakes, and you'll hear thundering storms. But how do all these things originate, and what do they all mean? In this nature guide, everyday, unusual and fascinating weather phenomena are described, with over 300 colour photographs showing the range of forms and colours our weather can take on.
The book also covers possible harbingers of climate change, such as receding glaciers, heatwaves, tornadoes, tropical cyclones and flooding.
