Flohn was born in Frankfurt am Main, he studied geography, meteorology, geophysics, and geology at the universities of Frankfurt and Innsbruck. Having obtained his doctorate in 1934, he accepted a position at the newly established German Meteorological Service (Reichswetterdienst). From 1941 he was employed at the meteorological service of the Luftwaffe High Command. In 1941 Flohn published the first German article concerning anthropogenic climate change. Having returned to the Deutscher Wetterdienst after the war, Flohn from 1950 helped develop the theory of atmospheric circulation. Flohn was one of the first and leading global climate change researchers. From 1961 he worked as a lecturer at the University of Bonn. In 1977 Flohn retired. Climate and Weather by Hermann Flohn was published by McGraw-Hill as part of their World University Library series. These books are written by scientists and scholars from around the world. Therefore, it is only fitting that the cover be designed in the Swiss-International style, complete with Helvetica type. Spreads within the book contain photographs and diagrams. The latter maintain a consistent limited palette of grays and light blues throughout the entirety of the publication.
