By: Roberto Ritossa

Mediterranean Weather Handbook for Sailors is an indispensable reference providing a general understanding of the various phenomena concurring to determine weather in the Mediterranean, and provide useful forecasting aids. It is written for sailors, not meteorologists; theory is kept to a minimum, while every effort is made to provide clear interpretative tools that are helpful in understanding actual weather and in forecasting its likely future evolution. Roberto Ritossa is a meteorology expert and this handbook is a result of many years research on Mediterranean weather patterns.

Contents List: Preface; Introduction; 1. Climatic and seasonal pattern overview; 2. Pressure features; 3. Winds; 4. Sea areas; Appendix How to get weather information; Wind roses; Dictionary of meteorological terms in four languages

„Roberto Ritossa has produced an excellent weather text book for those who choose to sail in the Mediterranean. Although it claims to be ‘written for sailors, not meteorologists’ there is more than enough essential theory to satisfy the keenest of amateur meteorologists. I would certainly buy a copy if I were to ever plan to return to the Mediterranean, as a sailor.“ IG, Cruising
