Fatal Forecast

Channel: BBC Earth (DStv 184)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Nature, Documentary Series

Fatal Forecast

Remember when watching the weather forecast was a soothing alternative to the news?

This series gives an in-depth look at the increase in major weather events, and their consequences and with a panel of experts, scientists and meteorologists.

So pack your survival gear, 'cause there's some extreme weather on the way.

We communicate via satellite and can put people on the moon - surely we can do a better job of predicting the weather?

Why are some weather events still so difficult to predict? Are 'we' getting any better at predicting these events?

In the series premiere, "Tornadoes": They are among the most powerful forces on Earth.

With swirling winds of more than 300 miles per hour, and the strength to destroy nearly everything in their path, they account for an average of 60 deaths and millions of dollars in property damage every year.

From the British Isles to the French countryside to south east Asia to the heartland of the US, twisters have been tearing up the landscape and decimating entire communities in the process.

Now, there is growing concern that the number of tornadoes and the regions they encompass may be increasing, due largely in part, to the effects of global warming.

Fortunately, advances in science and technology are also on the rise, giving government agencies and broadcasters increasingly more time to warn the public of impending disaster.

In this dramatic episode, we will travel into the eye of the storm with tornado chasers and visit the leading scientists in Europe and the US who are making advances in combating these deadly forces of nature.

With the rivers of England, Scotland and Wales less polluted than ever before they are travelling with real hope and expectation of some amazing finds.

In the Season 2 premiere, "The Battle of Killiecrankie": The team find evidence from one of Scotland's bloodiest eras as they wade through the waters of the River Garry in the Scottish Highlands, the site of the first major clash between Highland Jacobites and the government army.
