Description
The National Trust
A miscellany of weather-related trivia, quirky history, fascinating folklore and surprising facts to delight a British weather obsessive. Packed full of intriguing regional dialect names for weather phenomenon, discover the meaning of a 'Northern nanny' (a chilly storm of hail and wind in the north of England); words for rain, from ‘mizzle’ to ‘stotting’; and why drinking a 'Dog's Nose' would set you up for venturing out into a thick Victorian London fog. From curious customs to pioneering weather people: discover names for British winds (including the Helm wind, a gusty north-easterly off the Cross Fell in Cumbria); the history of weather reports; how 1816 came to be known as 'The Year Without a Summer'; that Prince Albert (1819-61) was a keen builder of snowmen; and much more. Sprinkled with black-and-white or two-colour line drawings, this accessible and fun reference will keep weather watchers entertained whatever the weather.
