Super handig boek om een inleiding te krijgen in het voorspellen van weer aan de hand van de wolken. Zeker handig voor bij het wandelen! Merkte wel dat hoe meer je erover te weten kwam, hoe duidelijker het werd dat weer echt moeilijk te voorspellen is. Desalniettemin toch veel basis intuïtie bijgeleerd!

Oh dear. I assumed that this would be some technical stuff with some light-hearted tips for predicting weather, in a kind of wise womanly kind of way. Maybe a charming debunking of old wives tales? But no, it was all fairly factual and for someone who isn't a scientician, me for instance, it wasn't as enjoyable as I'd hoped. My fault entirely.
