Wild Weather
On Monday, as part of the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's Science Week, I'll be presenting a new programme, called 'Wild Weather'.
I've spent the last few months filming across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire looking at the region's varied climate, and meeting people who have been affected by some of our worst extremes.
In the version for Ö÷²¥´óÐã Yorkshire, there's some fantastic old black and white footage from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã archives, including a memorable Panorama special when Richard Dimbleby broadcast live from Sheffield following the mountain wave storm of February 1962. I take a look back at the famous drought of 1976, the floods of 2000, and bad winters, visiting England's highest Inn at Tan Hill in Swaledale.
In the version for Ö÷²¥´óÐã East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, amongst other things I visit one of Europe's biggest flood relief schemes on the Humber; meet a man who claims he saw part of an ancient submerged forests off Skegness; look back at the devastating East Yorkshire floods of 2007, and talk to the founder of the cloud appreciation society.
Wild Weather is on Ö÷²¥´óÐã1 at 7.30 on Monday in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. If you live elsewhere and would like to see it, it should be on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã I-Player shortly afterwards.
