DD is increasingly fascinated by the weather and is testing my (limited!) knowledge. I’d like to find a good book which explains things simply, but which also gives more than just the very basics as I know more questions will follow! Any recommendations? I’m going to have a look in the library but I don’t think they’ve got much as it’s pretty small and most things have to be ordered in. Thanks very much smile

Rowan has just come out of his weather fascination! 

We had this book out from the library for a good couple of months.  Some of it was over his head, but it had some great exeriments in.  It is on my amazon wish list as there is so much more to do when he’s a bit older too.
