About the Author Robin Kerrod was a highly regarded author of children’s information books, writing widely on science, technology and the natural world.
Weather is around you all the time, and it is always changing. Is it cloudy or sunny? Is the weather the same all over the country? This lively and practical book tells you all about different climates and seasons. It explains why temperatures rise and fall, how clouds, snow and ice form, and how people are able to forecast the weather. Easy-to-do projects, such as measuring humidity with your own hygrometer and using water, light and a mirror to create a rainbow, will help you to understand how weather works. Find Out About... is a series for young readers who
want to explore the exciting world of science. Each book covers a different topic, bringing the subject to life with vibrant photographs, illustrations and diagrams, making it really fun for budding scientists to find out all the fantastic facts for themselves.
