Shipping Forecast


 

The Shipping Forecast is a regular feature of BBC Radio 4 and is provided by the UK Meteorological Office on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Because of its unique and distinctive sound, it has an appeal much wider than to those solely interested in nautical weather, and is regarded with affection by many listeners. It is broadcast four times a day and consists of reports and forecasts of weather for the seas around the British coast.
