Description

Weather collects some of the most breathtaking images from Weather Photographer of the Year, the annual competition held by The Royal Meteorological Society. Each image has been selected by a panel of meteorologists, photographers and photo editors who look for a combination of skillful camera work and meteorological observation. The book also includes six essays addressing various aspects of climate change, not least its impact on extreme weather.
