As a frequent traveler, I find this book to be the most useful book I've ever bought. This book gives information on most cities worldwide one might visit, on the climate to expect for a given month. It reports not only on average highs and lows, but also average rainfall volume, amount of sunshine to expect, and degree of discomfort from heat, taking into account humidity factors. Vacationers can use it to pick a good city or island to visit for any given month, minimizing the chance they'll be bothered by rain or uncomfortable temperatures. Business travelers can use it to know what clothes to bring and whether to bring an umbrella. Don't plan a trip without consulting it!

Very useful book for travellers. I base my chioce of destination and selection of clothing to take with me in my backpack mainly on this guide. Why is it so useful: not only gives this guide the average min/max temp and average rain, but it also gives the high/low records and number of rain days per month.

It's a must have for backpackers (more accurate than Lonely Planet weather sections)
