From Markus W. (20170514-2304)

... Last week I was often in the library and found some weather-books and some poems by Christian Morgenstern. Hans Magnus Enzensberger wrote a lot of weather-poems too (“Natürliche Gedichte”). I also found a book about mount fuji (“Über die ziehenden Wolken - Der Fuji”). It's not that old book you told me about, but in the chapter “Natursymbolik in der japanischen Lyrik” are a lot of old japanese poems (waka).

By the way: consistent symbols in japanese poetry:
springtime = cherry blossom - sakura;
summer = cuckoo - bototogisu;
autumn = moon - tsuki / red maple leaves - momiji;
winter = snow - yuki;
shiki - four seasons;)

I put your book-list and the books that I found (mostly in german) into an .xls-chart. In the following you can find some weather-web-links. I hope this will help:

At sunrise I'll make some recordings. It is the last day of the “Eisheilgen - Cold Sophie”. It was raining today, at night I can make some recordings of dripping water in my neighbourhood (there is a broken roof gutter). Last few days I have done a few recordings and pictures on different locations and times (recorded also some footsteps on mudd and stones - on a lakeside).
