BBC weather blooper by Michael Fish storm of 1987

That was Hurricane Charlie. Both Britain and Ireland were slammed the next evening. Never seen anything like it since.

I think I saw a clip from '79 somewhere on here with a satellite picture- probably wasn't comprehensive tho'.

You're right- the lines in the sky aren't from planes at all, its all some kind of conspiracy to create dull days! Dull overcast days are ideal for alien landings and giant world-dominating lizards and blah blah BLEURGH

I dont get it, what did he do wrong?

He said there wasn't going to be a hurricane. The next day, England was hit by one of the biggest hurricanes in living memory!

there turned out to be a hurricane!

"A woman rang up today saying there was a hurricane on the way, don't worry, there isn't."

That night a huge hurricane hit the south east of England causing immense damage, entire woodlands flattened, roofs ripped off hundreds of homes and damage in the millions upon millions of pounds.

It was the biggest 'blooper' of his career, one of the most respected weather forecasters in the country.

that night there was a massive hurricaine like england had never seen before - tons of trees blew over, roads were blocked, schools were closed.
THe south of the country was shut down.

the message from stuntprime was me, we just use the same connection.sorry
