Brief Description
When you're out in the wilderness, it's important to anticipate weather changes so you can adjust clothing and equipment, and to decide whether or not to interrupt a trip. The authors demonstrate simple techniques to help you anticipate the weather

They explain the geographical differences in weather caused by different landforms such as mountains, valleys and deserts, show you how to distinguish between cold and warm fronts, how to use cloud formations to predict approaching weather, how to use an altimeter, estimate wind speed and much more. The authors also lay out how to use signs of nature to make semi-reliable predictions, such as by watching your morning and evening skies, insect-eating birds, frost and dew. A combination of all observations will then enable you to estimate the weather in advance.
