Clear, succinct, and engaging answers to every question you could ask about the weather. -- Gavin Pretor-Pinney, author of The Cloudspotter's Guide
Why doesn't rain fall all at once? Can technology change the path of a hurricane? What's the weather like on other planets?
Meteorologists Simon King and Clare Nasir reveal the fascinating ways weather works, from exploring extraordinary phenomena (how are rainbows formed?), to clearly explaining what we know about the elements (could we harness the power of lightning?), to examining the role of weather in history (has weather ever started a war?) and considering what lies ahead (could climate modification save the planet?).
In What Does Rain Smell Like?, Simon and Clare uncover the compelling science behind a subject that affects us all. By answering our most curious questions about the world around us, they explore every aspect of weather--and how it shapes our lives in surprising and powerful ways.
