Instant Weather Forecasting: You Can Predict the Weather

by Alan Watts

Instant Weather Forecasting has been a perennial bestseller since it was first published nearly 50 years ago. A brilliant concept, its winning formula of 24 clear color photographs of cloud formations and their accompanying explanatory text enables the reader to read the sky, pick up the clues, and predict what the weather will do.

This revised and updated 5th edition takes into account the new ways users can receive professional weather forecasts, factor them into their own cloud observations, and develop an even better understanding of how the weather will change.

This bestselling gem of a book will continue to be invaluable to anyone participating in outdoor activities, from farming, gardening, and walking to riding, golfing, flying, sailing, fishing--and of course holidaymakers.

Excellent short reference book for predicting weather. I'll have this on my iPad when I go sailing next.

[Tom Schulte · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very technical reference. Probably its most useful part for the layman is the central portion where verso is a consist tabular set of details and inferences to make with the recto, full-page photograph of common cloud formations.

[Bern J · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short book, lots of information, lots of photos. It's all in reading the clouds.

[Jonathan · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a short and very technical guide. Limited purpose, but good for that. Active sailors and perhaps campers are the main audience.

Such a good book - It was a really helpful resource for writing my own book. I love the large, easy to see cloud photos!
