Summary: Sunny Forecast for this book
Comment: I've always been fascinated by weather and its changes. However, having spent my whole life on the West Coast (and almost all of it in California), I can't say I'm that much of a "weather expert." I remember living in San Diego in the late 1970s and having a weatherman describe a passing storm front as a series of "squall lines." I always wondered what exactly that meant. While this book may not define "squall lines" specifically, it does go a long way in explaining our weather. And after reading this book I still may not be a weather expert, but I'm definitely much more knowledgeable about it.
I like the Idiot books because they explain a subject in some depth without going overboard, but at the same time don't "dumb down" to the point of telling cutesy jokes to get a point across. This book is no exception. Taking on weather topics from wind and rain, how violent storms (thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes) develop, how air pollution affects us, "global warming," even how a day to day forecast is put together and how to become a TV weatherman are done in a light but still informative style. There's also some excellent reference material (weather glossary, weather maps, etc.) at the back of the book too.
An excellent introductory book about weather and one that I can refer to time and time again.

Summary: A great learning tool!
Comment: This book was very interesting. It is great for people of all ages. It answers any question you ever had about the weather, and you don't even have to be a scientist to understand it! It would make a great gift too!

Summary: Dr. Mel's encyclopedic knowledge makes weather enjoyable!
Comment: Dr. Mel's Complete Idiot's Guide is a most exciting book. I love the way it contains all the elements we could ask for in a book about the weather. I particularly like the part about relative humidtiy; he makes it easy to understand such an abstract concept.
