Wild Weather
On Monday, as part of the BBC's Science Week, I'll be presenting a new programme, called 'Wild Weather'.
I've spent the last few months filming across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire looking at the region's varied climate, and meeting people who have been affected by some of our worst extremes.
In the version for BBC Yorkshire, there's some fantastic old black and white footage from the BBC archives, including a memorable Panorama special when Richard Dimbleby broadcast live from Sheffield following the mountain wave storm of February 1962. I take a look back at the famous drought of 1976, the floods of 2000, and bad winters, visiting England's highest Inn at Tan Hill in Swaledale.
In the version for BBC East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, amongst other things I visit one of Europe's biggest flood relief schemes on the Humber; meet a man who claims he saw part of an ancient submerged forests off Skegness; look back at the devastating East Yorkshire floods of 2007, and talk to the founder of the cloud appreciation society.
Wild Weather is on BBC1 at 7.30 on Monday in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. If you live elsewhere and would like to see it, it should be on the BBC I-Player shortly afterwards.

Hello, I’m Paul Hudson, weather presenter and climate correspondent for BBC Look North in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. I've been interested in the weather and climate for as long as I can remember, and worked as a forecaster with the Met Office for more than ten years locally and at the international unit before joining the BBC in October 2007. Here I divide my time between forecasting and reporting on stories about climate change and its implications for people's everyday lives.
