Good reading for cloud and wether info

Post by dan »

After very interesting explanations about cloud formations and stuff on Sunday Ron has got me very interested in learning everything I can about meteorology, it's so interesting, actually looking up and understanding why there is a hole in the middle of the cloud and why those wedge shapes are there !!
So what's the best reading and sites to learn from?

understanding flying weather another good book but after reading it I realised that the weather is like a woman you could live to be 300 years old and never be able to fully understand it ,and the weather god if there is one is definatly a woman and she can be a right bi**h always trying to spoil your day :lol:
But seriously :idea: being a good amature meterologist is propablly the single most important thing in getting the best out of this sport
I HATE COMPUTERS
