Even give the enormous technological breakthoughs that satellites and radar have brought to the weather forecaster, accurate predictions remain, by nature, without total certainty. meterology is an inexact science where fate holds the trump card. Yet, with an understanding of the basic weather systems and of why certain skyscapes occur, it is often possible to add personal obervations to the overall situation, as supplied by the national weather or shipping forecasts, to arrive at a more accurrate local forecast. This is the objective of this book.By the use of beautiful color photography and skillful use of color diagrams, the reader will soon understand what is happening to the elements about him. Predictions of wind, rain and temperature can then be made with some rationale.
