Help with birthday gift for weather obsessed son!


Recommended Posts

Hello, my son is absolutely obsessed with storms and the weather/cloud formations, he's 16 and wants to study meteorology at Uni eventually.  It's his birthday soon and I'm wanting to get him something weather related but not sure what. We got him a weather station for xmas which he loves and he has two of the Tim Vasquez books (weather analysis &forecasting and I can't remember the other one) Are any of the other Tim Vasquez books worth getting? they are very expensive even second hand.  Or any other books you would recommend.

I know nothing about meteorology so any gift ideas would be great!

I would recommend this book.

WWW.ABEBOOKS.CO.UK

Essentials of Meteorology : 3 (The Wykeham Science Series) by D. H. McIntosh and A.S.Thom and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at AbeBooks.co.uk.

As an ex professional it is not too complex and has all the basics if your son decides he wants to go to Uni after his GSCE's.
