The BC Weather Book: From the Sunshine Coast to Storm Mountain [Paperback]

"Like BC's weather, the book offers something for everyone who lives, works, or plays in BC's weather."

-- David Phillips, Senior Climatologist, Environment Canada

The "everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-the-weather-in-BC-but didn't-know-who-(or were afraid to!) to-ask" book

Don't like the weather? Move a little further inland, closer to the coast, or to the other side of the mountain. That's sound advice for any BC resident because the climate of the province is one of the most complex in Canada, often changing dramatically in the space of just a few kilometres. From the Sunshine Coast to Storm Mountain delves into the wonderful world of BC weather, which includes some of Canada's wettest, driest, hottest, and coldest conditions, and everything in between.

Author Keith Heidorn takes readers from dripping coastal rainforests to blazing deserts as he explains the fascinating science behind the BC climate and how it affects the nature of life in BC. Featuring up-to-date BC weather facts and statistics and over fifty maps, graphs, and diagrams, this book will delight anyone seeking easy-to-understand explanations of BC weather origins, influences, and phenomena. From the Sunshine Coast to Storm Mountain also tells the BC weather stories that made history and includes archival photographs of these significant events.

Known to Internet weather enthusiasts around the globe as "The Weather Doctor," Keith C. Heidorn, Ph.D., a graduate of the University of Michigan and the University of Guelph, has spent his life studying weather and climate. After a career with the Ontario provincial government and in private consulting, Dr. Heidorn now focuses his energies in public education on a myriad of weather and climate topics, ranging from the origin of snowmen to the science of thunder.
