The Shipping Forecast is a BBC Radio broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the coasts of the British Isles. It is produced by the Met Office and broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The forecasts sent over the Navtex system use a similar format and the same sea areas. The waters around the British Isles are divided into 31 sea areas, also known as weather areas.

In August 2017, Radio 4 celebrated the service's 150th anniversary.

Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy introduced a warning service for shipping in February 1861, using telegraph communications. This remained the United Kingdom's Met Office primary responsibility for some time afterwards. In 1911, the Met Office began issuing marine weather forecasts which included gale and storm warnings via radio transmission for areas around Great Britain.

This video is good, becoming variable, occasionally poor.

[jonnyquinn]

You know you've hit peak procrastination whenever you're putting off exam revision to listen to old shipping forecasts 😂

[paperchain]

To appreciate this there needs to be a howling gale, nighttime in a small building on the quayside somewhere like Lyme Regis. And plenty of hot chocolate and biscuits.

[TSER]

I'm going to listen to all of this; I'm in it for the long trawl.

[Attwood]

I want this played at my funeral and with a stipulation that everyone who attends must sit through the whole 9:04:38 of it.

[two-moonz]

Anyone else come here after watching paint dry? Needed to wind down.

[enigmabodylanguage]

Just to say, you are driving on the wrong side of the road.

[eliseintheattic]

This is the heavy duty insomnia cure, when a train in a rainstorm just won't do.

South English Forecaster: "Showers later, perhaps thundery in the North.... good." XD

[laurafear]

I do declare this the one of the finest piece of cinematography in all the sphere.

[redwoods]

When I can’t fall asleep, I listen to this and just drift off. Is wonderful.

[timwilson]

In all seriousness, I'm mesmerized by this. It's the best sleep video I've seen. It knocks me out.

[seaspirit]

Love the Shipping Forecast, Inshore Waters & Costal Reports. Being a mariner it saves lives including my one! Thanks for the video!

[eurimusictek]

Amazing at low volume for falling asleep! Way better than sleeping music videos and all other hypnosis techniques.

[TheHexCube]

Superb! 👌 Mr Nunes has the most iconic voice in my humble opinion; his bass is unsurpassed. Love the view too! - so atmospheric.. thank you.

[paddydoublems]

Very inventive. The video of driving at night goes along with The Shipping Forecast, which I use to help me sleep at night.

[johnc]

Rockall and Dogger are my favourites, always have been, always will be.

[paulputnam]

I often listen to the late night forecast whilst tucked up in bed on my narrowboat. The canal is generaly 'calm' but 'gale, south or south west 8' does sometimes make it move about a bit !

Dominic Cummings' midnight break of lockdown to drive to Durham, colourised.

[jonathanstannard]

Had it on in background to help me sleep; fantastic. There's another recording that is only 5 or 6 hours long so not long enough to last the whole you then have to wake yourself up to re-set then youve kind of defeated the object of going to sleep.
