Want to know more about the great man? Find out in Michael's biography.

We asked Michael to look back at his time as a meteorologist, from how he came to be our longest serving TV weather forecast to the often badly behaved magnetic symbols in 'Thirty Years on BBC Television'.

When we offered you the chance to put your burning questions to Michael, we had no idea so many of you would respond! Find out what why he became a meteorologist, what he thinks about Climate Change and his most embarrassing moment in his career in Ask Michael Fish.

The Great Storm of 1987 is almost synonymous with Michael Fish! His legendary comment has found its way to numerous books and websites. We look back at the storm, how it developed and Michael's thoughts on the attention it still receives 17 years later... Michael Fish and the 1987 Storm.

Take a look at our dedicated Michael Fish gallery, and some footage of his TV broadcasts, including "...earlier on today apparently a woman rang the BBC and said she heard that there was a hurricane on the way..."
