About the book: 1968 / People tend to ask questions about the weather. Some of them are dictated by pure curiosity, others by direct practical interest. After all, the weather plays an important role both in the private life of every person and in his production activities. To find the answer to questions about the weather, a person turns to many books devoted to this subject. But finding a book that would present all the information about the weather in a fairly accessible form is a rather difficult task. F. Forrester's book is a kind of popular meteorological encyclopedia, compiled in the form of questions and answers. But delving into the jungle of theory, but without slipping into a superficial presentation of facts, the author answers all the “whys” and “whys” related to the weather. But science cannot give a completely accurate and definite answer to all questions about why atmospheric processes develop in one way and not another, and in such cases the author openly admits to the temporary powerlessness of meteorological science. This book is very useful not only for amateur meteorologists and students, but also for all curious.
