 Mountain
Weather: A Practical Guide for Hillwalkers and Climbers in the
British Isles (Outdoor Pursuits & Techniques)
Our mountains have plenty of weather. They are almost always
windier, colder, cloudier and wetter than low country. What
is more, the weather mood can change bewilderingly quickly,
from gloomy, lowering skies and driving rain to shafts of sunlight
and breath-taking patterns of colour. The weather can delight
or endanger. It can create a mental picture never to be forgotten
or thrust the unwary into a fight for life. Whether it is to
avoid danger or to add to enjoyment of the mountain scene, before
starting a day outdoors among the hills it is wise to know what
the weather is likely to be. This book helps hillwalkers and
climbers to get the weather forecast most suited to their needs,
to understand them, and to modify them in the light of experience
of mountain weather.
