Synopsis

The weather can shift as you walk around a tree or turn down a street, and this book focuses on the small signs that reveal what is happening all around you. It describes how, each day, people encounter dozens of clues that can indicate what the weather is doing and what may happen next.

Tristan Gooley sets out simple rules for understanding these signs and explains how to spot them. Drawing on his experience decoding natural phenomena, he encourages readers to get to know weather signs through their “habits and behaviours”, so their meaning becomes clearer.
