Product Description

Before you hike, rock climb, mountain bike, cross-country ski, or canoe far from shelter, you probably better check the weather forecast-yet almost everyone has been caught out in a storm unexpectedly. In Reading Weather, meteorologist Jim Woodmencey gives you the tools you need to help you stay out of the storm's path when you head out for a long trip or even an afternoon hike. In an easy-to-read, informative style, Woodmencey explains weather basics and how to make your own forecasts once you are miles from home by reading clouds, understanding changes in the wind and humidity, and using a barometer. Helpful black-and-white illustrations, tables, and charts make this book a "must read" before your next outdoor adventure and an essential item to carry with you every time you wander far from home.
