Weather for Hillwalkers
New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
A professional weather forecaster explains how wind, rain and fog function, with a focus on the way they can affect mountain conditions. Starting from the basics of depressions, fronts and air masses, he details the way that high ground can modify their effects, and shows how to interpret published maps and supplement this with short-term observations.
Product information
Full publisher description
For years hillwalkers and climbers have struggled to understand the complexities of weather systems. Written by a professional weather forecaster, Weather for Hillwalkers provides invaluable insight to the beginner and veteran alike.
Now in a new edition, Malcolm Thomas offers an understanding of the principles of the elements - the causes of wind, rain, snow, cloud, fog, thunder and clear skies - and looks at how they are affected by mountains and high ground. Readers will learn the terminology of depressions, warm and cold fronts, air masses and more; how to interpret weather maps; and how to make short-term weather forecasts from observations. This is essential reading for those tackling the elements amongst the hills.
