Weather & Climate

Explore the dynamic and ever-changing forces that govern our atmosphere with Weather & Climate, an informative and interactive science guide co-written by Fiona Watt and television meteorologist Francis Wilson. Part of the acclaimed Usborne Science & Experiments series, this book introduces young readers to the fundamental mechanics of meteorology, explaining complex concepts like air pressure, water cycles, wind currents, and global climate patterns in an accessible way. It covers how different types of clouds form, what causes violent storms, and the growing impact of human activity on the global climate, such as the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion. Packed with detailed structural diagrams, colorful illustrations, and a variety of safe, hands-on experiments—including how to build a homemade weather station—this volume serves as an excellent reference tool for school science projects and classroom activities.
