I knew a rain cloud when I saw it but thanks to this book I can now use a whole range of Latin terms to describe it, estimate its height and identify famous examples in literature, art and mythology. I am now also aware that contrails (aircraft trails) may be more environmentally damaging than the fuel being burned. This is a handbook written by an enthusiast and far more enjoyable than my old Scout cloud chart!
