EndedDocumentary showNature

Weather is one of the most awe inspiring forces on earth. It's capable of both devastating power and spectacular beauty. Where ever you are on the planet, weather shapes your world. Yet how it works is a mystery for most of us.

Weather, even the everyday stuff, is full of mystery and wonder. Yet despite scientists studying it for thousands of years, we know far less about how it actually works than you might expect. The hidden mechanics at work are often amazing and sometimes downright magical.

In this series Richard Hammond gets right in amongst weather to discover the unexplained and the unexpected, the unbelievable and the just plain unlikely, in an attempt to reveal the hidden world of weather.

Temperature: The Driving Force

Richard Hammond investigates the crucial role temperature plays in all weather. Without heat, there would be no weather - no clouds, no rain, no snow, no dust storms, no thunder and lightning.

Richard sets off to find out about hot air and with the help of a quarry and a massive hot plate discovers just why it is so hard to pull a sword out of snow. He discovers, by building his own massive dust storm with the help of a few friends and dust specialist Dr Nigel Tapper, just how sand from the Sahara bounces its way to the UK.

In Canada he creates his own ice storm. He also drops in on Dan Morgan, who creates lightning bolts in his lab, where Richard is able to see thunder and hear lightning with the aid of some special cameras, light bulbs and a few candles.
