Viking, Forties, Dogger, Fisher, Sole. The Shipping Forecast is a much-loved and unique part of British culture, and is presented here as a beautifully-illustrated map.
Carefully recited daily by the BBC to a highly technical formula, the Met Office's Shipping Forecast is weather turned into poetry. My map shows the Shipping Forecast regions including coordinates, the coastal weather stations of the British Isles and a history of the forecast.
First drawn in 2014, the map was expanded in 2020 to include new hand-drawn additions, such as the Inshore Waters, the Beaufort Scale, and the maritime signal flags. The newest 2023 third edition adds many beautiful new decorations.
For anyone who sails, loves the Forecast, or enjoys all things nautical, this map is perfect.
