"Those who keep daily journals of the weather are all part of an international family that speaks a common language and is bound together by a common fascination with all things meteorological. Your daily weather watch will bring you a new awareness of the beauty of Australian skies."

The Australian Geographic weather journal is a hard-back book in which to record the weather at your place. There is space for observations of atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, wind, cloud and rain, and there are details about how to measure various weather elements.
The journal is filled with colourful and spectacular photographs of the weather and concise descriptions of phenomena such as thunderstorms, flooding, the ozone layer, and cold and warm fronts. The monthly average weather conditions for some of Australia's major centres are also included.
Click on one of the nine chapter extracts above to find out a little more about the book.
