Question Flying/Met Books

When I was studying for the PPL met exam, I used the Trevor Thom book. I understood this and had no difficulty with any of the concepts in it and passed the met exam with no problems.

However while I understand what is happening, and what to expect having reviewed the met reports/forcasts, I still have difficulty in predicting myself, what is going to happen next!!

With this in mind, I was thinking of buying two books that I saw in a cateloge recently, and was wondering if anyone else had read them, and what they though of them.

The books concerned are "The Weather Handbook" and "Instant Weather Forcasting" both by Alan Watts.

I am also considering buying, out of interest, "Severe Weather Flying" by Denis Newton.

Anyone have any comments on those books?
