Wild Weather
Wild Weather is a BBC documentary series presented by Donal MacIntyre, exploring the extremes of the world's climate. The series consists of four episodes, each of which focuses on a different theme of the world's climate - Wind, Wet, Cold, and Heat. Taking viewers on a journey across the world from the Sahara desert to the Norwegian town of Bergen and Greenland to the home of the Inuit, the series explores how these produce hurricanes, monsoons, ice storms and tornadoes, as well as regulate the global environment.
