Synopsis
All weather, even the everyday stuff, is riddled with mystery and wonder. And in this series Richard Hammond reveals weather's most unexpected, unexplained and unlikely secrets.
Richard investigates how wind actually starts; visits the windiest place on the planet; walks into a man-made tornado; and creates a 10-metre high whirlwind... made of fire!
Richard investigates the water in our weather: he tries to weigh a cloud, finds out rain could crush a car and gets involved in starting an avalanche.
Richard investigates how temperature - or lack of it - drives all our weather: he starts a dust storm in Australia, lights a giant hotplate in a quarry in the UK and creates an ice storm in Canada.
