We are very pleased to announce that ‘The Weather Observer’s Handbook’ by Stephen Burt is published today. The handbook provides a comprehensive, practical and independent guide to all aspects of making weather observations. It is ideal for both amateur observers looking for help in choosing their first weather instruments on a tight budget and for professional observers looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date guide.

Stephen Burt has been a long-time member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, and has been generous enough to help us with meteorological advice for several of our own books. His is a comprehensive and rigororous guide to weather observing, that also happens to be an entertaining read, and will make a great addition to any cloudspotter’s bookshelf.
