Or the works of Allan Watts : Instant Weather Forecasting has a picture of a sky on every other page, with what it may mean in the text. Instant Wind Forecasting uses the same format. Worth Googling to see what else he has in print - Cruising Weather is worthwhile but too technical and too specialised for Mr Bennett's requirement.

While the title covers London its findings are relevant for any large town or city - covering topics such as the urban heat island effect etc. I bought a very old mint condition copy on the web two years ago |
