Itโs exceptionally hot in some areas today so you may fancy a dip to cool off ๐
But take care as sea and water temperatures are much lower, which can lead to cold shock, so stay safe if youโre heading to the coast or inland waters โต
Northumberland Coast Path - Day 1
Berwick upon Tweed to Holy Island
15 glorious miles across deserted sweeping golden strands then barefoot across the sands to Lindisfarne.
630 people drowned in the Irish Sea in one night. โต๐
A British man studied the data afterwards. And invented something that every single person on earth uses every single day.
On 25 October 1859 the Royal Charter was hit by a hurricane off Anglesey. 450 people died. That same storm destroyed 133 ships and killed nearly 800 people around Britain in a single night.
Robert FitzRoy was head of Britain's Meteorological Office. He went through every piece of data from that night. And he realised something that stopped him cold.
He could have predicted it. ๐
So he built a network of 15 coastal weather stations around Britain, each one connected to London by telegraph. Every morning they wired their readings in. Pressure. Temperature. Wind direction. Cloud.
He began to see patterns nobody had ever seen before.
On 1 August 1861 The Times newspaper carried something completely new. A prediction of tomorrow's weather. FitzRoy called it a forecast. Not a prophecy. A calculation. ๐ฐ
He hoisted storm warning cones at every major British port. When the cones went up, fishing boats stayed in harbour. Lives were saved. How many? Nobody will ever know.
Today every country on earth publishes a daily weather forecast. Every app on every phone. Every "chance of rain" anywhere on earth. The word forecast itself. All of it invented by a British man who decided we would be prepared next time. ๐ฌ๐ง
This history has no budget. No broadcaster. No institution behind it. Just the people who believe it deserves to exist.
