Mediterranean Weather Handbook for Sailors By Robert Ritossa

The Mediterranean is a very difficult area for weather analysis and forecasting. Surrounded by the land and often high mountains to the north, the heat of Africa to the south and the usual west to east run of depressions skating across northern Europe with those diving south from Russia and the Balkans, it is a chaotic picture that means that most sailors tend to expect everything and nothing at the same time. The book brings reason, perspective and sound advice to the chaos of Mediterranean weather, it helps its readers understand what is going on, why and therefore help them to forecast what just might happen as a result. It is written for sailors not meteorologists and is full of practical advice, sources of good data as well, local sources of information and historical patterns. There is a lot packed into 124 pages and this slim volume should sit on any bookshelf of a Mediterranean bound yacht. Postage to UK/EU only. Please contact us for orders outside of this area.
