The changeable nature of the weather in the British Isles has an impact on everyday lives from travel arrangements to sporting fixtures. This programme examines how low (depressions) and high pressure weather systems (anti-cyclones) operate before identifying some of the impacts on human activity. Utilising comment from experts from the National Oceanographic Centre in Southampton and the University of the West of England in Bristol this resource compares the positive and negative impacts of various UK weather systems.
