This
course covers many aspects of the formation and behavior of the
weather around us. Meteorology (the study of weather) is quite technical
in nature. In contrast, “Fundamentals of Weather” is presented in a
straightforward manner eliminating much of the jargon.
The study of weather is both fascinating and satisfying. The skills you
will develop from this course will serve you for a lifetime. With
practice, it will become possible for you to make short term forecasts.
Challenge the professionals as to who better predicts the weather in your
local area.
With “Fundamentals of Weather” you will forecast the weather beyond “red
sky at night”.
