About the Book…
Most of us talk about the weather every day – it shapes our lives, our cities, even our history – but how much do we really know about it?
In Come Rain or Shine, award-winning meteorologist Laura Tobin lifts the lid on the fascinating science behind the forecast, revealing a world far richer and more surprising than you’d ever believe. Blending compelling anecdotes, folklore, and first-hand insights, Laura unpacks how the weather really works – from wind and rain to cloud, fog, and sea – and shows you how to spot its clues for yourself. Along the way, you’ll discover:
Why rain drops are bigger than they used to be
Why the sea is hottest in September and chilliest in March
Why bad weather is at the heart of conflicts worldwide
How rainbows form and what they mean
How your location affects YOUR weather… and much more.
Inquisitive, engaging and full of unforgettable facts, this book shows how a better understanding of the weather will change how you experience the world – come rain or shine!
