Alex Beresford examines whether we can expect a stormier future.

The programme also looks back at the most destructive storm in UK history: the Great Storm of 1703 that killed over 8000 people and destroyed a fifth of the Royal Navy. Could patterns in the past reveal clues about the future of Britain's weather?
