Wild Weather - Wild Weather of the West

Forecaster Ian Fergusson leaves his weather map behind on a journey through the wet, the windy, the sunny, the stormy and the snowiest parts of the West. Away from the comfort of his studio, he is dragged through the waves of the Somerset coast by the prevailing southwesterly and sees how Wiltshire's strawberry jam is being used to record the sunshine. He also meets a survivor of Britain's worst flooding tragedy in living memory and - most surprising of all - experiences some extraordinary summer snowfall in a part of Gloucestershire where blizzards are never far away. With a mix of interviews, explanations, archive and first hand experiences, Ian's journey blows the lid off the West Country's wildest weather.
