Extraordinary weather
18 July 2012
Working with experts from the Met Office, author Richard Hamblyn has gathered a compelling collection of images in a stunning new book, 'Extraordinary Weather'.
The six themed chapters present a beautiful and dramatic perspective of the ever-changing weather.
As the foreword of the book by Rob Varley, the Met Office's Operations and Services Director describes:
"As the striking photographs in this book attest, the weather in all its guises equally fascinates people around the world. From the simple act of raising an umbrella, to an aircraft that changes course to avoid a thunderstorm, every day the weather touches all our lives."
Barometer readers can order 'Extraordinary Weather' for the special price of £7.99 (rrp £9.99 with free p&p (UK only).
