About this deal

The 00:48, 12:01 and 17:54 forecasts are read by the duty announcer, but the 05:20 forecast is read by the weather forecaster (there being no separate Radio 4 continuity operation at that time). It scans poetically. It's got a rhythm of its own. It's eccentric, it's unique, it's English. It's slightly mysterious because nobody really knows where these places are. It takes you into a faraway place that you can't really comprehend unless you're one of these people bobbing up and down in the Channel.

A similar broadcast on MF is initially announced on 2182kHz, with a further frequency specified, e.g., 1770kHz. VHF optimum range is approximately 30 nautical miles (nmi), effectively line of sight, whereas MF range is much greater at approximately 150 nmi, allowing ships in the Atlantic Ocean and North Sea to receive the broadcast. The sea areas match the forecast areas used by other North Sea countries, though some names differ. The Dutch KNMI and Norwegian counterpart names Forties the Fladen Ground, while Météo-France uses Pas-de-Calais for Dover, Antifer for Wight, Casquets for Portland and Ouessant for Plymouth.

Several areas may be combined into a single forecast where the conditions are expected to be similar. Wind direction is given first, then strength (on the Beaufort scale), followed by precipitation, if any, and (usually) lastly visibility. Boats, yachts, historical events and books about the sea are generally excellent. If there are sequels in your series, I would love to read them.Weather Forecast Master Singers Slideshow with subs www keepvid com". Archived from the original on 11 December 2021 .

By reading books about heroes overcoming adversity, we are often encouraged to do the same. Whether it's a romance novel or a self-help book, the right book can motivate you to never give up and stay positive. In an episode of the BBC Radio 4 series Live on Arrival, Steve Punt reads the Shopping Forecast, in which the regions are replaced with supermarket names, e.g. " Tesco, Fine Fare, Sainsbury". The sketch ends with the information, "joke mileage decreasing, end of show imminent". Another regular reader of the Forecast, Kathy Clugston, described it as "Like a lullaby, almost".

Humber, Thames. Southeast veering southwest 4 or 5, occasionally 6 later. Thundery showers. Moderate or good, occasionally poor." Linden, Grace (14 February 2023). "A Secret for Falling Asleep So Good It's a British National Treasure". The New York Times . Retrieved 23 February 2023. But for millions of landlubbing radio listeners it is more than this; the enigmatic language of the forecast has entered public conciousness, creating a landscape of the imagination and confirming romantic notions of Britain's island status. Captioned by the 0600hrs forecast on the day they were taken, these photographs attempt to challenge our assumptions of these far-flung places. The beauties of owning the books of important authors cannot be discussed. I'm looking forward to your new books.
