Time for weather

A pocket guide to meteorology. The weather is always good, just like the time for talking about the weather. What can an icicle reveal? How do Pineapple Expresses affect us? Why is a flight from America to Europe shorter than the one in the opposite direction? And can we cook spaghetti faster on Sněžka mountain or in Prague? The weather influences virtually all human activities, yet it seems we can no longer perceive it other than on television or smartphone screens. With this book, you'll get to know basic meteorological phenomena, understand how the climate has changed, and even try to forecast the weather without using apps. This simple handbook guides the reader-meteorologist in training month by month. Through phenomena typical for each period, author and high-pressure system expert Dagmar Honsová shows that the weather is always good—you just need to understand it a little.
