A few weeks ago, the author Richard Mabey read an essay on Radio 3, spread across 5 nights.The theme was Changing Climates, but it was more related to the great British weather.
The book is now available. It's a slim volume and beautifully presented, and can be read within an hour, or savoured for longer.
It provides some useful background contexts to teaching about weather.
This from the introduction:
"weather is what happens here and now, to our settlements and landscapes, to us... it changes the way we think and feel, about ourselves and the future..."
Also have a discussion about the difference between weather and climate...
