    I've always wanted to understand the weather, and this book made me understand. Now I can talk about it with my wife, who is a meteorologist and hydrologist :)

    Ottimo testo ben fatto. Chiaro ed esaustivo. Si legge bene. Unica cosa: le unità di misura sono in Sistema Imperiale quindi vanno convertite per avere un idea di quello che si legge più familiare al nostro sistema SI

    Peccato non sia stato ancora tradotto

    Weather of course, is a global phenomen, so this book can be read and will be of interest to anyone in the world who is interested in weather: but it is very US centric, talking about the National weather Service alerts, and how they work, their categories of weather phenomens etc.So if you are UK based and wanted a book that focused on weather we are likely to experience, this may not be the best book. However, if you want to learn and understand about weather in general, then this book is easy to read, the author is engaging and humourous, and you'll learn a lot.I hope you found my review helpful.
