Description
Summary:	How does a weather depression form and develop? The Great Storm of 1987 started out as a low-pressure system that formed over the Atlantic and matured on its journey towards the UK. It had the characteristics of a typical depression, with a warm and cold front, but due to its exceptional size and strength - and speed - it caused unprecedented and unexpected damage across the south of England. The film charts the different stages of the storm's journey from sea to land, drawing on the expertise of Professor Paul Hardaker of the Royal Meteorological Society, personal testimony from people who remember its impact, and archive footage from the BBC.
