Tom Fort has put together a delightfully discursive book: a gentle rambling through the printed sources interlaced with meetings and outings to give it topicality.
Daily Mail
... an entertaining survey of the history of man's ceaseless struggle to answer the big question: do I need to take my Mac?
The Independent
... Good humoured and quietly ... The exchange between Johnson's Englishmen may not, in the end, arrive anywhere in particular, but it goes on to this day.Under the Weather is a worthy addition to that long-lived conversation, and a reminder of how compelling it remains.
Guardian
A great little book about the British obsession with the climate, it's full of fruitful parcels of meteorological lore.
Conde Nast Traveller
... The writing possesses an affable charm and Fort has an appealing layman's enthusiasm for the subject.
