Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Screen capture of Michael Fish's weather forecast before the Great Storm of 1987.
Author or copyright owner	BBC
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/11647408/Even-the-Met-Office-supercomputer-would-not-forecast-1987-storm.html
Date of publication	16 October 1987
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Great Storm of 1987
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	I want to illustrate the way in which the BBC forecast the storm (hence a screenshot showing isobars) in relation to the subsequent debate about the nature of warning given, and subsequent enquiries into this forecast for the storm, deficiencies in this forecast and the way in which the forecast has entered British culture as being incorrect. This forecast is discussed in the article, and was the result of much discussion at the time of the storm
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	n.a.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	This image shows the isobars and storm predicted in the forecast, though perhaps not where it eventually was placed. It shows that the forecast did recognise a storm was approaching, and was not completely unforecast in this forecast which has become famous for being wrong.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	It will only be used on the page Great Storm of 1987.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	n.a.
Other information	none
