Book Recommendations

Royce McCutcheon

Hi,
Bit of a strange request, but Im looking for a book on weather as a gift for my mother, I dont know the first place to start as I wouldnt be too much of an enthusiast but I was wondering would anyone reccomend any authors or books that would be general enough about weather! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sure you'll get plenty of excellent recommendations - here's a few recent books on Irish weather to get the ball rolling

Looks Like Rain - 9,000 Years of Irish Weather
By Damian Corless

Deluge - Ireland's weather disasters, 2009-2010 by Dr Kieran Hickey

Ireland’s Arctic Siege - The Big Freeze of 1947 by Kevin C Kearns

There's a newer illustrated version of Weather Eye available now too.

different book, I think ie a newer compilation of columns from the last year of McWilliams' life, not the original compilation + illustrations. Good choice, I'll have to get that:)
