Fascinating facts we all want to know about weather are discussed here in clear, nontechnical language and illustrated with dramatic, informative drawings on every page.

Detailed instructions are provided on how to read weather maps and how to make a home weather-forecasting station out of simple, everyday items around the house.

Information on such recent weather problems as cloud seeding and rainmaking can be found in this book, and a great number of graphic experiments for the young scientist to try.

We all talk about the weather -- it is fun to "understand why" about all kinds of weather and to be able to make your own weather predictions.

Jeanne Bendick's pictures throughout the book are gay, vividly descriptive, and of course, scientifically accurate.
