Description
All the techniques you need to become an expert weather predictor Divided into key environments, the Ultimate Weather Manual is the essential guide to predicting and surviving the complete range of weather that can be found on Earth. From the classical frontal systems found at sea - including the wave patterns and cloud formations - to the extreme weather that can be found at high altitude or in the polar regions, this book is the first to detail exactly what to expect and how to predict in the major areas of the world. Covering sea, maritime land, continental land, mountains, desert, tropical, temperate and polar regions in the detail that is required to predict and then avoid all types of weather, it also includes the more dangerous forms such as hurricanes or flooding.
