Hilarious On-Air Trainwrecks That Prove Some Anchors Just Can’t Handle Live TV!

The Michael Fish Effect

British meteorologist Michael Fish gave one of the most unforgettable weather forecasts in television history. Assuring viewers there would be no hurricane, he dismissed any alarm over approaching storms. Just hours later, the infamous Great Storm of 1987 swept across southern England, packing hurricane-force winds that left devastation in its path.

This unforgettable oversight became known as the “Michael Fish effect,” a term now used to describe public skepticism when meteorologists downplay severe weather warnings. Imagine your blooper becoming a global phenomenon. Michael’s gaffe remains legendary, and his name has since been etched into weather lore as the man who “missed” the hurricane that wasn’t supposed to happen.
