Default Evolution of The Weather Forecast, BBC4, Wed 8th, 9.30

Hurricanes and Heatwaves: The Highs and Lows of British Weather

DURATION: 1 HOUR
A glorious national obsession is explored in this archive-rich look at
the evolution of the weather forecast from print via radio to TV and
beyond - and at the changing weather itself. It shows how the Met Office
and the BBC have always used the latest technology to bring the holy
grail of accurate forecasting that much closer - even if the odd
messenger like TV weatherman Michael Fish has been shot along the way.
Yet as hand-drawn maps have been replaced by weather apps, the bigger
drama of global warming has been playing itself out as if to prove that
we were right all along to obsess about the weather. Featuring a very
special rendition of the shipping forecast by a Cornish fishermen's
choir.
