Learning about weather
As a recent solo glider pilot I'd like to learn more about the weather and how it relates to flying.
Any good web resources or recommendations on books?
I have some preliminary training docs that go into cloud formations, pressure, fronts etc but would like something a little more "substantial".. especially on the forecasting side

Hi,
I dont know whether it is available back home in the UK, but a great book which explains it all really well and very comprehensively is 'From The Ground up'. Aviation Publishers

This is THE site for all things meteorology WEATHER PREDICTION EDUCATION
OK it's not aviation-orientated but he explains all aspects of meteorology in a simple but highly effective manner.

Do you want to learn how to make go/no-go decisions for VFR or for IFR?
