How's The Weather?: Find Your Outdoors Comfort Paradise In The U.S. is a handy, practical guide to selecting the right locale for a picnic, a weekend outing, two week's vacation, or any other recreational getaway so as not to have outdoor entertainment spoiled by a run of bad weather. Historical U.S. climate data is compiled and distilled in a format accessible to the lay reader. Judging weather is an imprecise science and does require some understanding of mathematical analysis, at least if one is using the formulas and data presented here. Overall however, you will not find a guide that takes such a complex subject as meteorology and distills it down into a simpler set of rules and guidelines than this one, at least not without sacrificing accuracy. How's The Weather? is a fascinating book for meteorology buffs as well as the non-specialist general reader trying to plan their vacation anywhere in the U.S.
