This is an invaluable guide to weather in almost every region of the world. If not for this book, we would have frozen our a--es off in India last year, like just about every other traveler we met. Thanks to this book, we dressed appropriately. It's helped us prepare for many other trips. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I bought this book to use for my college Climatology course. It was useful to establish precipitation and temperature averages in locations around the globe. It would have been more useful if the yearly precipitation was totaled and there was an average annual temperature. These two averages were critical to classifying (Koeppen) the climates of the various locations. I liked that the book was organized into continents with a good variety of locations and good summaries.

I've found this book to be a reliable resource for recreating enviroments for reptiles and amphibians. Once I started to follow the climate for Costa rica, I had them breeding within a few months... I feel that this should be a part of every Herp book collection
