This book delves into the everyday spaces, diverse mobilities and
affective potency of weather. It presents cutting-edge research
into the multiplicity of weather phenomena and analyses the lived
experiences of humans in conjunction with contemporary issues,
notably climate change. The book considers how everyday experiences
of weather in the mundane lives of people are linked to broader
changes in weather patterns and climate change. Heat, dust, ice,
snow, precipitation, sunlight, clouds, tides and fog are states of
weather that impact on the ways in which humans become intertwined
with landscapes. Our experiences with weather are diverse and
ever-changing, and engaging with weather entangles humans with
mobilities, materials and landscapes. This book thus explores
affective and sensory resonances, drawing upon a variety of
theoretical, empirical and creative material to investigate how
weather is perceived in different social and cultural contexts. Key
themes focus on the mobilities generated by weather, the affective
and sensual potency of weather, and the diverse cultural forms and
practices that exemplify how weather is historically,
geographically and artistically represented. Offering a social and
cultural understanding of weather events, this book contributes to
a growing literature on weather across various disciplines,
including human geography and cultural geography, and will thus
appeal to students and scholars of geography, sociology,
humanities, cultural studies and the arts.
