to the Internet. After all, the #1 reason people watch a local
TV newscast is for the weather, and one of the top five websites
in the world is built for weather data!

A wonderful book for anyone interested in weather and forecasting,

that's a stereotype that's dying. " How to Find a Good
Weather Forecast" is a guide to the world of weather
predictions. Explaining meteorology, the careers behind it,
how a weather forecast is produced, and the titular concept
of finding a solid and reliably accurate weather forecast.

and educational, and accomplishes more than it sets out to
do.
