Meteorologia e sicurezza in escursionismo e alpinismo

Weather forecasts are an essential element for mountaineers and hikers, who often follow one or more bulletins from mid-week, to find out if their weekend will be full of a nice excursion or climb. Since meteorology is closely linked to the safety of an excursion and not just to its success, the enthusiast will not be able to limit himself to consulting the forecasts available today in an increasingly detailed and widespread way. On the contrary, they will have to try to acquire some knowledge regarding the "magnitudes" that regulate the weather in the mountains, not only through reading in-depth texts and monographs but above all through observation in the field. This is not intended to be a meteorology manual in the strict sense, nor a treatise of scientific rigor. Certainly, you will find yourself within the topics addressed according to the dictates of physics, which is the basis of meteorology, but above all practical advice that can be used in the field during excursions or ascents, along paths, on rock or ice. An approach conceived more from the side of those who practice the mountains every day, on every type of terrain and difficulty.
