Just like any gliding book by Derek Piggott is good, any Met book by Tom Bradbury is good too. Meteorology and Flight: A Pilot's Guide to Weather: Amazon.co.uk: Tom Bradbury: Books

Or, revert to Piggott...Understanding Flying Weather: Amazon.co.uk: Derek Piggott: Books

Don't get too hung up on Met though - the more I learn about it, the less I understand! You just need some simple pointers (such as an overnight difference between minimum night time temp and max daytime temp of more than 10 degrees means it's likely to be a good day).

Enjoy.
