A few popular options include "The Storm Chasers" by Jenna Blum, "Tornado Hunters" by Ross Reynolds, and "The Weather Machine" by Andrew Blum.

3. Weather Station: Consider surprising your dad with a personal weather station. This device will allow him to monitor real-time weather conditions such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and barometric pressure. Look for a weather station that offers accurate measurements and has additional features like connectivity to smartphones or computers for data analysis.

4. Storm Photography Workshop: If your dad has an interest in storm photography, why not give him the opportunity to enhance his skills?
