Here is my shipping forecast: it's not looking good. We're in the Atlantic and there's deep depression heading our way.

In weather terms, a depression is an area of low pressure that causes wet and windy conditions. 

When the wind gets strong and the sea gets rough, we describe the wind as being gale force – so very strong.  

What else will this storm throw at us? Ah yes, rain – it's going to hammer down – so it'll be heavy and torrential. 

Well, time to batten down the hatches – I mean, prepare for difficult times. Let's hope we can weather the storm – I mean survive the difficult time. Right here goes.
