This was a visual delight! Great details here for amateur meteorologists but a visually stunning book for any reader.

I have a degree in Geography. I literally had separate college classes on climate and natural disasters. I love looking at photographs of nature in action. I've even experienced some extreme weather (flash floods, dust storms, being in the hottest place on earth on a particular day). So to me this book was very very cool. I loved that in addition to the descriptions providing the location they also provide an explanation of the scientific processes behind the phenomena. The book itself is divided into types of weather. The accompanying photographs show prime examples of the weather event from various places in the world. I appreciate how up-to-date the book is including events from 2020 like the fires in Australia. My only complaint is that because I was viewing the book as an ebook, the two page pictures (of which there were many) were always cut in half so I did not get the full effect. This will not be an issue in the print book and will have to track a copy down once it's published to reexamine some of the more dramatic pictures. All in all this book will make a great coffee table book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Amber Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

There is something for everyone in this book. A brilliant table book or gift for anyone. Brilliantly and simply organised. Incredible photographs. I have to mention my favourites being the elephant foot glacier in Greenland and the Storm Dennis floods in the Wye Valley. Just the right amount of information.

A book to be picked up for a few minutes, but visited and revisited.

With lots of beautiful photos, many quite striking, this book gives a good overview of the many kinds of weather. It was, however, uneven in parts. The chapter on heat seemed to be entire;y about panic-driven climate change. The photos of clouds often assumed that the reader knew far more about cloud types than most folks do.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amber Books Ltd. for the digital galley of this book.

Extreme weather is both beautiful and terrifying and I enjoyed looking these breathtaking events from the comfort of my safe home through gorgeous photos. High quality images with accompanying, informative text. It’s an excellent coffee table book for sure.

It’s out in April, perfect for some of the springtime weather headed everyone’s way, so keep an eye out for it.

The photography is stunning. The science is spooned out in small portions, but it is interesting and the photographic examples add weight to the descriptions that illustrations would not.

Thank you NetGalley, Robert J.Ford and Amber Books Ltd for the ARC Weather. This is my personal review.
This book just took my breath away! The photography was totally amazing. Seeing these photos gave new meaning to the different types of weather happening all over the world. The information given was eye opening and gave me insight into weather I will never experience in parts of the world.
This is a book that anyone would love to browse thru just to see the phenomenon we all know as weather.

I say this often, but I mean it. This was a fascinating read. Reading about the weather sounds boring, but Ford makes it enjoyable by showcasing a hundred and fifty photos of all kinds of weather with small bits of information on them so it doesn't feel overwhelming on info! Loved it!

I was grateful to receive an ARC copy of this book courtesy of #netgalley, Robert J. Ford and the publishers in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great photo book filled with some daring pictures of tumultuous weather conditions. Understandably, winds, floods and fog give a more dramatic demonstration and so the book contains more of them than scenes of tropical suns and extreme bush fire conditions. I particularly loved the images focused on mists and on clouds. Factual text providing bite-sized pieces of knowledge accompanied many of the pictures that were shot from all corners of the globe.

All in all, a lovely book to pass the time with.

This would be an excellent coffee table book! The pictures are amazing, for all the weather types. It is unbelievable that mother nature can cause such destruction and people risk their lives to take pictures. I will tell people about this book and purchase it for my home!

Weather is yet another great book from Robert J Ford. I'm in love with the photographs, and I want some of them on my walls! This book will make an exceptional coffee table book, and it'll surely be a great conversation starter. It also reminded me to look at the sky more. Fascinating!!!

Wow! Startlingly beautiful photography! The frog photograph could not be more apt and perfect. Extreme storms are common where I live in Canada, especially blizzards and temperatures ranging from -40C to 38C. My home in Europe experiences far different weather...comparing is a favourite pastime. My dad was a weatherman, recording rainfall and temperatures and phoning them in each day. Weather interests everyone to varying extents and this book captures it superbly! The photos made me feel as though I were right there.

The author describes everything from the necessity of rain (comparing it to drizzle) and lightning (including leader and return strokes and different "journeys"), moonbows in Scotland, formation of fog and mist in Thailand and Germany, cloud formations (night-shining, lenticular and mammatus are particularly striking), icebergs, hail five feet deep in Mexico, drought in Kenya, typhoons in China, hurricanes in America and waterspouts in Croatia and loads more. Along with the photos are descriptions and statistics.

This book would be a shame to miss out on for anyone with an iota of curiosity but especially for rabid Nonfiction/weather nuts. You are sure to learn from it.

My sincere thank you to Amber Books Ltd. and NetGalley for the privilege of reading this informative ARC about weather phenomena all over the globe!

Fitting perfectly into that niche that nobody expected exists between coffee table artbook and geography manual, this very visual guide fits into the publisher's usual highly photographic ethos, but in being full-sized, and almost a foot tall, manages to convey a lot more. The science of the world's weather can come across in much longer captions than normal, so our understanding of weather and climate and all the attendant marvels, misery and suchlike they can cause is heightened. The care of production is in the image as usual from this house – we don't get a generic photo of a lightning strike, of course we don't, having instead a hugely atmospheric double-page spread of lightning over Halong Bay, Vietnam. We can look at one plant in amongst hailstones and be told which country it was taken in. But the detail is also in the text, and therefore if anyone needs to know what a piedmont glacier, or advection fog, is, and wished they could learn it via the medium of a coffee-table book, then they now can. For the rest of us, the welter of pretty pictures is still a treat, and easily a four star one. That said, the data about the climate crisis are most depressing.

This is a very cool book with pictures of weather events. The pictures captured are interesting and beautiful. There are descriptions of the locations of the weather events. This would make a great coffee table book.

A book of photos and facts taken all over the world.
Some of these photos are absolutely stunning, and I would loved to have seen these images in the flesh. Absolutely beautiful.
