Weird Weather

Frogs and fish raining down from the sky, giant ice bombs crashing into houses, cities floating in the sky, people glowing, a blue moon—the weather is much weirder than the forecasters make out it out to be. In this fascinating anthology, Paul Simons presents firsthand accounts of incidents that have baffled scientists and meteorologists alike. And as we face the most severe climate warming since Roman times, and with a changing landscape and the spread of new disease, the future promises to be even stranger. From survivors' accounts of being struck by lightning to murders induced by hot winds, Weird Weather is an astonishing compendium of bizarre weather phenomena.
