Michael Fish's storm prediction

[AuroraSaab]

With the third storm in a week upon us, like me, I'm sure many of you will have wondered how Michael Fish managed to get it so wrong in his now infamously erroneous weather forecast. It was because the BBC didn't listen to the lady who phoned the BBC. All charmingly explained here in this short animation. You need the sound on:

He was correct , there was not a hurricane.

He was correct , there was not a hurricane.

Well... technically correct, but he did fail to predict the destructiveness of the weather.

He was correct , there was not a hurricane.

Indeed!

But - for anyone that hasn't watched the animation - it's a lighthearted, typical Aardman piece, that isn't repeating the tired old moan at Mr FIsh.

You should have listened to your cuckoos instead. No need to listen to so-called experts!

I was out chasing tin pig arcs around, in Mr Fish's storm, and watching hilltop copses be felled like matchsticks..

After a few hours of it we realised it wasn't worth the risk of being decapitated by flying sheets of wiggly tin, and retreated indoors

Walked over that bridge ont way to Cairngorms in 2021 I think it was 🤔..Though it was a very high for the size of the river..
Obviously the builders knew their local area quite well..

If the water has no space it is going to go up., beautiful location btw.

A long time ago, but not far from here. You're looking at green fields. Somewhere behind the pill box is a river.

'Babet blows off concrete penis' would have been a much better headline.

Or
“Blowing concrete penis is a job for Babet”
