Forty years on the Banbury hills taught a shepherd to read tomorrow's weather in today's clouds, winds, and the behavior of his flock. Claridge's rules, gathered before barometers were common, forecast rain, frost, and fair days from plain signs anyone can watch. A rational account of the causes follows each maxim. Learn to predict the sky the old way.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
