Full Description
Tune in to a globetrotting tour of the world's wildest weather ... with Channel 4 weather presenter Liam Dutton!
Discover whirling planetary jet streams, hurricanes, monsoons, dust storms, volcanic lightning and other amazing phenomena all through the lens of TV weather presenter and world-famous meteorologist Liam Dutton. This adventure through the atmosphere shows off the splendour of our skies in their most fierce and dramatic states and uncovers the science behind weather events. From the molecules of the smallest raindrop to the impact of climate change and extreme weather, what's going on around us has never been more important to understand. Straight from the mouth of the man who went viral on You Tube for saying the name of the Welsh village Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, this is an awe-inspiring take on the weather for curious readers.
