Summary: Right kind of book
Comment: I have to confess that I have only got to 11 June (today) - I bought this a few months ago and read it to get up to date and now I just take a page at a time generally on the exact day (normally in the inner sanctum).
It is simply excellent and I can't recommend it highly enough. There must have been a considerable amount of research to find something in history that was related to the weather on 365 different days but so far apart from 18th March (the dullest day of the year with regard to weather related history) the authors have managed to find something of interest for each day.
Not only has it been a good read I have found it very educational from a history perspective, I really have enjoyed it immensely.
Just brilliant.

Summary: Save it up!
Comment: Buy this book! For yourself, a friend, your mum or dad, hell, buy it for anyone. It is a joy and for some reason I find the stories very moving, particularly Henry Bloggs in January. I'm saving it up and reading it week by week to spread the joy over the whole year!

Summary: One for the Xmas Stocking
Comment: A truly epic tome that is a must for all us weather obssessed folk. I originally purchased this book because the pile of miscellanies & anecdotal publications in the downstairs WC were getting a little thin on the ground (I suspect some of my more light-fingered house guests may be to blame...) However once I began to dip into it's cleverly crafted contents I found this book began to follow me around all over the house, the office and even further afield. Whether you are brushing up on a few interesting facts to impress your next dinner companion, or want to know what the weather got up to on your birthday in 1885, it really is too good to be confined to the small dark room under the stairs. May I suggest you purchase several copies to be left out in all the rooms in your house, and a few extra to cater for those house guest types I mentioned earlier....

Summary: Right Kind Of Book
Comment: Great book! Fascinating facts that make you want to find out more and read the books that are quoted. Liked all the technical explanations of the winds,hurricanes and clouds etc. Ideal reference book,very well researched and well written. Liked the mixture of battles won and lost, sport and literature which was an unexpected bonus. No wonder we talk about the weather all the time.Buy and enjoy.

Summary: The Wrong Kind of Snow
Comment: Finally a book that satiates the British obsession with weather. Woodward and Penn have come up with the definitive guide. Crammed with facts, anecdotes and asides it is at once amusing, fascinating and informative. Ultimately a great read that can be poured over for hours or dipped into for minutes. I loved it.
