Michael Fish Gets Hurricane Forecast Right In 25th Anniversary Tribute Advert (VIDEO)

Finally, After 25 Years, Michael Fish Gets Hurricane Forecast Right

In a distinguished career that has spanned over 50 years, Michael Fish's most memorable moment was also his most notorious.

On the 15th October 1987, Fish said during a routine weather broadcast: "Earlier on today a woman rang the BBC to say she'd heard there was a hurricane on the way.

"Well, if you're watching, don't worry there isn't."

Fish has never lived the incident down and in attempt to right his wrongs he has recorded a special 25th anniversary version of the forecast where he miraculously gets it right.

At the end of the forecast, Fish exits the screen muttering: "Well, that could have been embarrassing."

Quite what the relatives of those who died will make of the whimsical tribute remains to be seen...

See below for the original forecast and click here for reader's memories of the storm.
