Well, with this book, you can! TV forecasts, online predictions and smartphone apps are all based on the same data: a number-crunched overview of how air pressure and temperature affect the weather across a large geographical area. But to get an idea of how the weather will develop for the precise spot where you're standing (or walking, sailing, golfing, fishing, etc.) you don't need any equipment or a WiFi connection... you just need to look up. This book will give you a broad understanding of why the clouds are symptoms of weather patterns, not causes.10aWeather20aCloud forecasting20aWeather forecasting1 aCunliffe, Tom,d1947-eeditor.1 aWells, Duncan,eeditor.
