Author Joe Shute has spent years deciphering Britain's complex relationship with the weather, investigating the centuries of folklore, customs and rituals our seasons have inspired.

But in recent years, Shute has noticed a rather curious and alarming pattern: the British seasons are changing faster and far more profoundly than we realise. Daffodils in December, frogspawn in November, swallows that no longer fly home, floods, wildfires and winters without snow. Nothing is behaving as it should, sending nature into an increasing state of flux.

In Forecast, Shute travels all over Britain tracing the history of the seasons, and discovering the extent to which we are now growing disconnected from them. While documenting these warped rhythms caused by the changing weather, he records the parallels in his personal journey as he and his wife struggle to conceive a child.
