Summary

Why doesn't rain fall all at once?

Can technology change the track of a hurricane?

What's the weather like on other planets?

Meteorologists Simon King and Clare Nasir reveal the captivating ways the weather works, from exploring incredible weather phenomenon (how are rainbows formed?) and expertly breaking down our knowledge of the elements (could we harness the power of lightning?) to explaining the significance of weather in history (has the weather ever started a war?) and importantly discussing the future of weather (could climate modification save the planet?).

In What Does Rain Smell Like? Simon and Clare uncover the thrilling science behind a subject that affects us all. They unearth and analyse all aspects of the weather and how it changes our lives through answering all of our most burning questions about the world around us.

Narration Warning!!

I thought this book was going to be informative using vocabulary that started basic to more detailed as I went through the chapters however the information is confusing and at times conflicting [I thought I had a good understanding of Highs and Lows, now I'm unsure!].
The book has been narrated by the authors - a big mistake as they should have engaged someone who can read; Clare speaks like she's reading a story to a 7 year old but its not a story and I'm not 7! additionally there are lots of retakes that at time haven't been spliced in correctly.
Overall I have not enjoyed the Audio book and I wouldn't recommend it!!
Very disappointed
