Written for armchair weather enthusiasts, along with nature lovers and science buffs, this low-priced, easy-to-use field guide expands National Geographic's natural history category and joins other pocket guides in this successful series.

Everybody talks about the weather but how many really understand it? This little book is a basic reference on storms, sky phenomena, global patterns of wind and pressure, weather forecasting techniques, interpreting cloud formations, and extreme weather safety. Each one of 140 featured topics includes a photograph paired with an explanatory illustration or graphic. Interesting facts and tips offer a quick guide to observing the weather, from rainbows and auroras to supercells and hurricanes.
