This completely redesigned new edition is a colorful photographic guide to predicting the weather in the hours ahead. The photographs are arranged in such a way as to illustrate the sky under a variety of weather situations, and a simple scientific introduction explains how to use the photos.
“I have a favorite little book – Instant Weather Forecasting, by Alan Watts – that I have to replace every four or five years because of overuse. Almost every time we go to sea, we spend time looking at its [24] color photos of different types of clouds and comparing them to the clouds we see above us. Then we carefully read Watts's analysis of what the clouds portend.” —Lin Pardey, SAIL
“…[a] gem that's inexpensive, small and could become a dog-eared favorite.” —Coastal Cruising
