BBC Local Radio - Paul Hudson's Weather Show, Weather at England's bloodiest battle

Paul Hudson remembers the weather for the Battle Of Towton.

War Weather. On the Paul Hudson Weather show this  week, our favourite weatherman talks about the Battle of Towton. In England's bloodiest battle, some 28,000 soldiers were killed just outside Tadcaster in freezing blizzard conditions.  The wind  helped the Yorkists to victory.  But what if the wind had come from a different direction?  What if the visibility had been better?  The course of history could have been changed forever.  Don’t miss Paul Hudson delving into the history of the weather at Towton.  Plus Antarctic ice - it's detaching itself from the ocean floor.  Paul meets a scientist from Leeds who's been for a look.  And his weatherwatcher from North Derbyshire who followed the BBC Look North Big Red Sofa Push.
