Instant Storm Forecasting is

an invaluable reference for anyone pursuing outdoor activities. Using

dramatic photographs of cloud formations, helpful tables and practical

explanations, Alan Watts equips the reader with the tools to assess the

chances of being caught out in a storm, and judge how severe that storm

might be. He explains how strong winds build up, how thunder and hail

stones are formed and what causes hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons and

waterspouts. This comprehensive little book makes fascinating reading

as well as being an essential guide for anyone about to encounter the

elements.
