Learn to “see” the forecast in the hidden weather signs all around you—from the New York Times–bestselling author of How to Read a Tree and The Lost Art of Reading Nature’s Signs
In this eye-opening trove of outdoor clues, acclaimed natural navigator Tristan Gooley shows us how, by “reading” nature as he does, you’ll not only detect what the weather is doing (and predict what’s coming), you’ll enter a secret wonderland of sights and sounds you’ve never noticed before. Discover the ways that weather can reveal a hidden world with every step you take—through the woods or down a city street. A turbulent sky with mismatched clouds predicts bad weather. Snowflakes get smaller as the temperature drops. Dry weather and morning frost follow a clear moon. Gliding birds mean stable air and thus, fair weather. Honeybees don’t leave their hives below 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Crickets chirp faster as the temperature rises. Pine cones close their scales in high humidity. Perching birds face into the wind. Cows don’t lie down before rain, but they do head home.

Learn to read the signs in every cloud, breeze, plant, and snowflake!
The perfect picnic spot is under a tree, but not just for the shade: When wind passes through a tree, higher pressure causes the breeze blowing under the tree to move faster and feel cooler.

The more kinds of clouds you can spot, the worse the forecast! If you see many different cloud types, it means that the atmosphere is unstable—which increases the likelihood for bad weather.

During a heavy shower, wide beech leaves allow twice as much rain through as pine needles! That’s because tree leaves channel water towards their tip, funneling the water down and out.

Did you know that the coldest weather and snowfall rarely come together? In winter, it is more likely that snow will be signaled by temperatures rising after a cold snap.
