This fascinating series investigates the weather in four very different climatic zones across the globe: Mediterranean, tropical, desert and snow capped. Each program starts with a "holiday" approach but quickly turns off the beaten track to meet children who live there all year round, to explore the impact of tourism on the area and find out what the weather's like out of season. From the high-rise resorts of Southern Spain to burgeoning tourism on the Caribbean island of Grenada, the searing hear of the Nevada desert to the depths of winter in Lapland, this unit of programs enriches geographical studies with a wealth of evidence of fascinating places and people. A BBC Production.
