Wouldn't it be convenient to be able to predict the weather accurately by simply observing the clouds? Well, with this book, you can! TV forecasts, online predictions, and smartphone apps all rely on the same data: a numerical analysis of how air pressure and temperature affect weather over a large geographical area.

This book will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of why clouds are symptoms of weather patterns rather than causes. Highly practical, it demonstrates how by reading these signs in the sky and referring to the explanatory color photos and diagrams, you will be able to accurately interpret what those signs mean.
