b'When you\'re deciding what to wear in the morning, or on the viability\\xa0of some activity for the weekend, you\'ll likely turn to a weather app to see what the forecast holds. My guest today would suggest supplementing that habit with another: actually going outside, looking at the sky and feeling the air in order to engage in an ancient and satisfying practice and build a more intimate\\xa0relationship with the weather and the world around you.\\n\\nHis name is Tristan Gooley and he\'s a master outdoorsman, expert natural navigator, and global adventurer, as well as the author of The Secret World of Weather:\\xa0How to Read Signs in Every Cloud, Breeze, Hill, Street, Plant, Animal, and Dewdrop. Tristan and I begin our conversation with how modern meteorological\\xa0science is incredibly useful, but has also disconnected\\xa0us from the weather signs right in front of our\\xa0faces, as well as the different microclimates that can exist even on two different sides of a tree. We then do a\\xa0quick review of some of the basic scientific/meteorological principles that underlie understanding the weather, before turning to the concrete, research-backed, field-tested, signs you can observe in your environment to predict the weather, like the shape and height of clouds, and why you should check those clouds from lunchtime onward. We discuss whether there\'s truth to the old saying, "red sky at night, sailors\' delight; red sky in morning, sailors take warning," and what changes in plants and the behavior of animals can tell you about the coming forecast, We end our conversation with how to get started today with predicting the weather using natural signs.\\n\\nGet the show notes at aom.is/weather.'
