Germán Portillo
I have a degree in Environmental Sciences and a Master in Environmental Education from the University of Malaga. Since I was little I was fascinated by observing the sky and its changes, so I decided to study meteorology and climatology in college. I have always been passionate about clouds and the atmospheric phenomena that affect us. In this blog I try to transmit all the knowledge necessary to understand our planet and the functioning of the atmosphere a little more. I have read numerous books on meteorology and atmospheric dynamics and I like to share what I learn with my readers. My goal is for this blog to be a space for dissemination, learning and enjoyment for all nature and climate lovers.
