The Secret World of Weather

nebulastic! Full of fun facts about the weather

Good informative read

For my father in law who likes anything to do with weather.

This is a really interesting book and easy to dip into. Lots of facts and it is written in a way to entertain and inform. Not what I was expecting - as I thought I was just getting instruction and information on weather, so that I could forecast the weather nearby. But this is so much more - a lovely book.

This book has the same 'problem' as Tristan Gooleys other books. You get yourself comfortable in the armchair, a drink beside you and start to read, but before you know it there is a desire to get out of the chair, step outside and see if you can put into practice some of the things he is telling you! Lots of information that you never knew before, and hope you can remember even half of it next time you are out and about.

Bought as a present so not read it fully

Weather can be a heavy topic. Hard to to take in. The Secret World of Weather makes this subject an adventure. A game of observation.

Bought as a gift so I only flicked through - seemed OK, if not exactly scientific.

Amazing insights and very readable style. After reading you are amazed by the fact that a whole universe of the weather, sky and clouds was there and you did not notice it. You just want to observe signs and constantly understand what the sky is telling us at the moment - you become a holistic natural detective. The book can work as a sort of initiation - opening a completely new perception and understanding of how nature works and how this impacts our everyday weather and us - in a very practical manner. The greatness of the book is that it sets you on a completely new journey of holistic microclimate and gives you a gentle push - and then you want to continue on your own further.

This well-written book is a pleasure to read. As a long-time outdoor lover, I have always been interested in weather and weather forecasts. This book opened the door to an entirely different level of understanding of weather phenomena and has made my life much richer.

Well-written--both entertaining and highly educational!

Lots of awesome nature knowledge that has been lost because of modern society’s proclivity to stay inside instead of outside. Fun to pick up and learn some random facts, or prepare yourself for more adventures outside. Highly recommend.

Very important book on actual weather forecast without thermometer, barometer, etc., just around you.
