This is the perfect book for anyone who finds today’s weather news frustrating because they don’t give enough local details. She answers such questions as: Is it likely that it is raining, sunny or windy? Will it be a good day on the beach? Should I take an umbrella to work with? Will there be a lot of wind for sailing? Should I water the lawn? Alan Watts, the acclaimed author of the bestseller World Weather and Climate Guide, explains in uncomplicated terms how to look into the sky and interpret what the clouds show about the coming weather. He explains how to combine information given in today’s weather news with the reader’s own observations to get a correct assessment of what the up coming UK weather and climate might be.

UK Weather and Climate

The British climate is temperate, with no extremes of temperature and rainfall. Winters are usually fairly mild under the influence of the Gulf Stream, while summers are neither oppressively hot nor frustratingly cool. The average annual temperature is about 10°C, with a summer and winter average of approximately 15°C and 5°C respectively. The British climate is dominated by the tracks of frontal depressions which form in the Mid-Atlantic and pass across into Europe, bringing rain and frequent bad spells of weather.
