Excellent

There are very few weather books oriented to people older than 12. This is one that is and has a lot of good information. It is in a question and answer format, but is informative and very quick to read. Definitely recommended for all your questions related to weather.

A must-have for the weather fan

"The Handy Weather Answer Book" is a great weather read and reference guide. The entire book is written in question-answer format, and it's very good if you want to find a quick, simple, and easy-to-read answer. It gives specific definitions of commonly used weather terms and also some other terms that are not heard as often. There is also a very detailed index so it's fairly simple to find the question you're looking for. The book is divided into sections, such as "Tornadoes" and "Hurricanes", etc. This book is great to boost an interest in Meteorology. I'd definitely recommend it!
