PREDICTING STORMS - The Adventure Begins (Second Edition) by Robert Ellis

The full-colour book shows ordinary people how to predict a storm long before it is even visible to radar or satellite. Many lives can be saved by using the simple rules explained in the book.

As many as 500,000 people worldwide may die in large storms each year. Traditional weather forecasts can currently only give around 13 minutes' lead time for tornadoes spawned by supercell thunderstorms. The Tornado Early Warning Rule published in this book gives at least 5 hours early warning of a deadly tornado from its rigid straight-line signature on a barograph. Your barometer will give you at least 24 hours early warning of an approaching hurricane making landfall. The first comprehensive compilation of rules for storms so you know when you will be safe from storms.

Predicting Storms covers practical information such as whether you can walk to work, or if there will be a storm in your area within the next hour or two. All types of storms are covered in the book: Severe Thunderstorms, tornadic supercell thunderstorms, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, extratropical cyclones, tropical storms, tornadoes, bush firestorms, fire tornadoes, weather bombs, windstorms, dust storms, and snowstorms. Rules apply to storms on land and at sea, so sea and surf are another important part of the book. Find out why we can expect stronger storms in a warmer world.

Whether you are a general reader, a surfer, a weather watcher, a storm-spotter, or a storm-chaser, Predicting Storms will give you the tools to predict all storms confidently. Author Robert Ellis is a scientist and storm expert who has been referred to in recent years in the media as a storm chaser. Riding the storm - your ultimate adventure awaits!
