Product Description
A comprehensive guide to weather phenomena in Canada.
Canada's Weather explores the fascinating science and history of Canada's weather from coast to coast to coast.
Written by the Weather Network's popular weekend man, Chris St. Clair, it's organized in four seasonal sections and by Canada's distinct weather regions: the West Coast, the North, the Prairies, Ontario and Quebec, and the Atlantic region.
A total of 46 scientific illustrations complement St. Clair's careful and basic explanations of the universal principles of weather, and there are 197 photographs that show the power and beauty of Canada's weather reality.
With a unique perspective, St. Clair gives the full forecast on Canada's meteorological state of affairs, including:
- The progression of weather from east to west
- Extreme weather events
- Large-scale and small-scale weather events
- How Canadians have turned the weather to their advantage
- How geography and topography affect weather
- Tools of weather watching, measurement and forecasting
- Climate change
- Facts, trivia, proverbs and quotes about weather.
Canada's Weather is a fascinating reference to Canadian weather phenomena for home, office or school.

Weather or not!,
By KMB "Sea story lover." (Prince George, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canada's Weather: The Climate that Shapes a Nation (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book. It explains about Canadian weather in particular, but also about global weather patterns. The graphics are simple and instructive. This is a great book for anyone interested in weather as most Canadians are. I bought it for summer reading for my husband who is a bit of a weather fanatic, but I can't help reading it myself! We keep it on the coffee table and everyone takes a look at it. I highly recommend it.

Canada's Weather in Style,
By SamB (Victoria BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canada's Weather: The Climate that Shapes a Nation (Hardcover)
Loved the cross Canada photos and stories. The only thing Chis forgot which I hear asked about all the time is the dew point relation to weather. He spins a story in a language that everyone can understand. You don't even have to be a weather geek to like this one.
