Behind one of history's most consequential decisions was a Met Office weather forecast.

Released in cinemas today, #PressureMovie tells the remarkable true story behind what is arguably the most important weather forecast in history.

The film shines a light on the meteorologists, science and expertise behind the D-Day forecast.

More than 80 years later, the importance of trusted weather intelligence remains as relevant as ever.

🎬 PRESSURE is in cinemas now.

The Government wants to extend voter ID laws - despite admitting they were an attempt to manipulate elections. It���s a stitch up. We say: DITCH VOTER ID before the next General Election. #ProtectOurVote https://t.co/b3jJAlKaSd
