Tristan Gooley reveals the hidden patterns and surprising signs that unlock nature's meteorological secrets. From the subtle clues in puddles and shadows to the behaviour of plants and insects, this guide transforms ordinary walks into adventures in weather reading. Readers learn to predict rain from the shape of clouds, sense approaching winds from the way trees bend, and understand microclimates that change within just a few steps.
Drawing on years of field experience and traditional knowledge, Gooley makes weather observation accessible and practical for anyone who spends time outdoors. Whether planning a coastal walk, anticipating mountain conditions, or simply curious about the natural world, this book provides the tools to read the landscape like a meteorologist—no instruments required. Essential reading for hikers, naturalists, and anyone keen to deepen their connection with the British countryside.
