This is a fantastic piece, the book showcase where Science of weather meets outdoor sculptures in arts. it depicts the role and effect of weather on outdoor Sculptures in Southwestern Nigeria. In African context all outdoor sculptures are used to pass across information. Often, they tell something about the place they are located, or the people who are living near them now or those who have lived there in the past, weather parameters affect outdoor sculptures which invariably indicate time of existence of the sculptures. The effect of weather on these sculptures communicates community values, heighten awareness, question assumptions, and transform a landscape; they can have the power, to transform the images in the area of existence over time. Outdoor sculptures can be subjected to Climatic phenomena, such as rainfall onset failure, droughts, floods, humidity, temperature and related features which may occur at regular or irregular time intervals and may be of short or long duration or of small or large scale. Their persistence over a specified period of time can be defined in terms of a trend, while their regular reoccurrences can be defined in terms of 'periodicities'.
