Mountain Weather Reviews

'This is the enlarged and updated third edition of a well-known book by a much respected meteorologist. There are some neat diagrams, with excellent photographs really relating to the text. It enables people, having got the general forecast, to make the best choice of routes. If you want to learn about mountain weather, as any sensible hill-walker or climber should, then this is as good a book as you'll find.' Irish Mountain Log / Winter 2006
