Description
Whatever the Weather explains how weather works. Why is it raining? Where does the fog come from? What happens in a thunderstorm? How does geography affect the weather? The book features fun facts, trivia, and anecdotes, e.g. where did El Niño get its name from or how you can tell the temperature by a cricket's chirp. It covers questions like how does forecasting work or what instruments scientists use. It shows a weather station and discovers wind from sand storms, hurricanes to thunderstorms to explaining clouds and cloud formations, to the ice sheets at the ends of the world.
