Description

Telegraph Best Books of 2021 'A wonderfully enthusiastic guide to how we can all learn how to understand the weather simply by looking and feeling, smelling and touching... scientifically rigorous and accessible' Observer 'Gooley marshals a riveting compendium of weather-reading skills . . . he has plenty of facts at his fingertips with which to excite' The Times The weather changes as we walk around a tree or turn down a street. There is a secret world of weather - one that we all live in, but very few see. Each day we pass dozens of small weather signs that reveal what the weather is doing all around us - and what is about to happen. The clues are easy to spot when you know how, but remain invisible to most people. In The Secret World of Weather you'll discover the simple rules that explain the weather signs. And you'll learn rare skills that enhance every minute you spend outdoors, whether you are in a town, on a beach or in a wilder spot. As the author of the international bestsellers The Walker's Guide and How to Read Water , Tristan Gooley knows how to de-code the phenomena and signs to look for. As he says, 'I want you to get to know these signs as I have, as characters. By studying their habits and behaviours, the signs come to life and the meaning reveals itself. From this flows an ability to read what is happening and what is about to happen.' This is the ultimate guide to exploring an undiscovered world, one that hides in front of our eyes. 'A sensitive study that combines theoretical physics with beautiful nature writing' Telegraph 'This breezy new book reveals how to read nature's very own weather forecast . . . full of fascinating trivia' Daily Mail Review: an eye-opening book - 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. Review: Interesting read - 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.
