From the 'battle in the sky' aurora seen over London in 1716 to diamond dust in the February sky in 2008 and the effects of global warming on rhubarb growing in Yorkshire, this book brings together the worst - and the best - of British weather. Arranged by season, it describes not only the coldest winters and hottest heatwaves, but all kinds of phenomena from giant hailstones to ball lightning and historically significant weather, such as the 'Protestant wind' that battered the Spanish Armada.
