Manuel de Météo Montagne

The Mountain Weather Handbook, published by Glénat, is a guide designed to help outdoor enthusiasts understand, predict, and adapt to mountain weather conditions.

This practical guide provides a comprehensive overview of mountain meteorology. It helps you read the sky more effectively, understand clouds, interpret the warning signs of a weather change, and anticipate a storm, snowfall, or a rapid deterioration in conditions.

With this book, you’ll also learn how to make better use of the weather information available before a trip: weather reports, technical maps, satellite images, or online forecasts. The goal is simple: to become more self-reliant in analyzing the weather and to adopt the right behaviors in the field.

The guide also addresses the impact of climate change on mountain activities. This is useful information for hikers, skiers, mountaineers, mountain bikers, paragliders, and more broadly, all mountain users who must adapt their practices to current conditions.
