Weather: Whipping Up a Storm!
(Basher Basics)

Basher Basics: Weather, Whipping up a storm! created and illustrated by Simon Basher, written by Dan Green:

Welcome to the wild world of weather, Basher style! Meet Hurricane, a violent blusterer; Atmosphere, a many-layered character who keeps the planet cozy; hard-nut Hail and sneezy Sleet; Drought, the dusty fellow who makes life hard for animals, plants and people; and mischievous El Niño, who messes around with ocean currents to chaotic effect.

Includes plenty of detail on the forces that make weather work--this approach is so effective, readers will forever think about these characters every time they hear a weather report or step outside.
