Should we bring raincoats to the big game? Will the fog lift before we get to the coast? Should we let in the animals in case there is a tornado this afternoon? People love talking about the weather, but it is more than just conversation. Weather can change rapidly and produce suddenly hazardous conditions. Studying data from satellites, radar, and other technology helps us prepare and stay safe. Animals, on the other hand, also need to predict the weather. They rely on their senses to know what to expect so they can stay warm in a blizzard, remain cool in a heat wave, or find food in a fog bank. Hours before we wake up, weather anchor Guy Brownis at the TV studio reviewing atmospheric readings, humidly rates, and Doppler reports. He needs to tell his viewers how to plan for the days ahead. He also introduces some of the animals who forecast weather in environments around the world. With Mario Lugo's vivid art, readers see some of the amazing clouds that bring us wildly different weather and learn how animals use their adaptations to weather the storms. Guy acquaints readers with cloud identification techniques while sharing a glimpse into survival--in town and in the wild.
