With more than 20 years of hands-on experience using a wide range of personal weather stations — and thousands of hours spent researching meteorology — his focus is on making weather science clearer, more accessible, and more meaningful to everyday readers.

Own Your Weather was created to bridge the gap between technical meteorology and practical understanding. The goal is not sensationalism, but clarity: explaining weather phenomena, atmospheric processes, and climate influences in a way that is accurate, grounded, and easy to follow.

By covering a broad range of weather-related topics, Wessel aims to help readers better understand how the atmosphere works, how weather affects daily life, and how human activity interacts with climate systems.

He believes that the more we understand our weather and climate — and our role within it — the better prepared we are to adapt, respond responsibly, and make informed decisions in a changing world.
