One of my favorite things about Weatherwise is the fact that every issue is like a mini trivia game. Do you want to know how much water is in the world's oceans? Just read Tim Vasquez's "Forecast Center." (The answer is 300 million cubic miles, for those who are curious.) Did you know that the all-time high temperature in Alaska is 100°F-the same as Hawaii?? I didn't, but I learned about it when reading Martha Shulski and Mike Mogil's article on Alaska's climate. Or do you know when the first official U.S. weather forecast was issued? Sean Potter does.
