Overview

• Martin reacted on air to the abrupt rain, saying “Just like that the heavens open” and “Look at that out there!” as cameras showed the downpour.
• Part of the programme then appeared indoors before he later returned outside, with guests including James Morrison, Aktar Islam, Shivi Ramoutar and Daniel Clifford.
• The show is filmed at Martin’s Hampshire kitchen, which complicates attributing the rain seen on broadcast to current weather conditions.
• The Met Office reported 96mph gusts at Tiree and a provisional 92mph October record at Magilligan as Storm Amy brought strong winds and heavy rain.
• Rail operators warned of possible service disruptions while conducting safety checks, and forecasts point to a drier, less windy Sunday for most areas with rain possible in the northwest.
