In his trademark style, Richard Mabey weaves together science, art & memoirs (including his own) to show the weathers impact on our culture & national psyche. He rambles through the myths of Golden Summers & our persistent state of denial about the winter; the Impressionists love affair with London smog, seasonal affective disorder (SAD
- do we all get it?) & the mysteries of storm migraines; herrings falling like hail in Norfolk & Saharan dust reddening south-coast cars; moonbows, dog-suns, fog-mirages & Constables clouds; the fact that English has more words for rain than Inuit has for snow; the curious eccentricity of country clothing & the mathematical behaviour of umbrella sales. We should never apologise for our obsession with the weather. It is one of the most profound influences on the way we live, & something we all experience in common. No wonder its the natural subject for a greeting between total strangers: Turned out nice again.
