Cloudspotting for Beginners with Gavin Pretor-Pinney

An introduction to the wondrous world of clouds by the internationally bestselling author, founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society and TED Global speaker, Gavin Pretor-Pinney. In this truly unique event, Gavin takes you on an illustrated tour of the sky, revealing the facts, secrets and stories of all the major cloud types, from low-flying Stratus, to high-flying Cirrus via roll clouds, banner clouds and tornados - and how they shape the weather around them. You'll even visit them on other planets, where they are sometimes made of acid. Gavin explains how cloudspotting is the perfect antidote to the pressures of the digital world, and you’ll discover that spending a few moments each day with your head in the clouds will help you keep your feet on the ground.
