Under the weather: an alternative Forecast

Under the Weather is a collection of recordings presented by writers, artists, musicians, and thinkers, who recite, perform, and describe the weather depicted in art, literature, and music.

You are invited to consider the weather with a renewed sense of wonder and reflect upon the way you observe and interact with changing atmospheric conditions.
