As a student private pilot it's easy to get too much dull information in front of you that must be sifted through to find practical pearls. Aviation Weather by Peter Lester comes closest of the many sources for weather information out there that gives relevant and beautifully formatted information in a succinct presentation.

It's hard to make METAR and TAF abbreviations readable to a new student, but this Jeppesen book trys to at least tie them in with all the other weather information available, and show many different sources available to pilots for their preflight briefing.
This dynamic new text book from Jeppesen Sanderson uses proven study methods to help the reader understand the atmosphere in which they are operating. Detailed information is presented in an uncomplicated way, highlighting key terms and FAA examination material.
An invaluable reference source for the student of Aviation Weather - pilots of all levels of experience will benefit from a greater understanding of the flying environment. Features more than 300 full colour illustrations and photographs

This new edition of the well established and highly regarded 'Meteorology for Pilots' has been completely updated to satisfy all aspects of the meteorological requirements necessary to be JAR compliant and provides the ideal background study material for candidates working towards the JAA and Airline Transport Licence examinations.

It discusses the latest data concerning global warming and its consequences, especially in relation to the El Nino effect. For aviation, the study of meteorlogy provides knowledge and awareness of the atmosphere, which is after all, the medium in which a pilot works.
A proper study of the subject will provide the basis that can enable a pilot to appreciate properly the weather forecast given to him for a flight - and indeed to forecast for himself. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs

Meteorology books written for those who can fly can sometimes be rather torpid tomes of theory, pulled together to help the would-be-aviator obtain his pilots licence. This book breaks new ground in presentation of what is and should be presented as a fascinating and vitally important part of a pilot's skill and flight safety. Gome are the dreary old monotone drawings of isobars and fronts, endless graphs and reams of figures and in bounce full colour photos of what you actually see - clouds and cloudscapes that tell you instantly what's happening to the air around you.
Pilot's Weather is a new commonsense approach to meteorology, written in straightforward language and illustrated throughout. The student pilot need no longer fear his meteorology exam and the licenced pilot can enhance flight safety for himself and his passengers. Endless graphs and reams of figures are replaced by full colour photgraphs of what you actually see - clouds and cloudscapes that tell you instantly what's happening to the air around you. For those who fly engine powered aircraft, microlights or gliders - this book makes the weather make sense.
