Synopsis

Who says nobody does anything about the weather? Danny Dunn does! Of course if there hadn't been a drought when Danny went to the weather bureau to return a radiosonde, just maybe nothing would have happened. But has there ever been a time when Danny could contain his curiosity? Danny is naturally attracted to all the weather-forecasting instruments and decides to do some volunteer weather-observing. And when Danny and his friends Joe Pearson and Irene Miller discover that Professor Bullfinch has a new ionic transmitter that makes little clouds and miniature rainstorms, trouble is sure to follow!

Goodreads review by Joe

Moderately interesting book in the series of the scientific whiz kid and his friends. The kids interacting with a Saint Bernard is the highlight of this book. The plot that sees them use one of the Professor's inventions seems to be mostly down to luck and very little invention of their own.......more
