Started out knowing that it would be a long boring waiting day. So I started staring at the sky over the Catskills . The clouds started to appear, and that turned into an all day cloud watching ! ! A never ending line of clouds ! My hero, Eric Sloane knew clouds the best and here they where all day. Waiting for my job I watched all day mostly sitting there . I kept on even during the long drive home . Saturated Until a large BANG of thunder nearby got my attention and realizing I must thank Eric Sloane
There is a Museum. Eric Sloane ,in Vermont --See it !
 
I actually had to look up Eric Sloane in St. Google to understand what you were talking about Mete! How that is related to survival, I am still not sure. But sounds like you had a blast of a day!
 
Helped me survive an otherwise long boring day!
One of the books I've had for many years is Weather for the Mariner , by US Naval Institute. There's where I really learned about weather .Going outside every morning includes checking the sky. That can be more informative than the TV ! I still use the old sailor's saying 'red sky at dawning , sailor's warning, red sky at night , sailor's delight ' That's quite accurate here in the Northeast .
 
Farmers and fisherman. Both groups care a great deal about being able to eye the weather and get a few hours head start on anything that develops. I've learned some from each.

You should also count climbers/hikers/alpinist in that group!
 
Pilots have to know a lot about weather too but aren't necessarily good at recognizing it. But pilot training materials should give a good foundation about how weather occurs and what it brings so you can use weather maps effectively. Between visual study and theory study - that's the completest picture possible.
