Paul Hudson follows Boaty MacBoatface on its first Polar expedition - and finds out how we might avoid another catastrophic heatwave like 2003 across Europe.

It may look like a little yellow submarine, but Boaty MacBoatface is actually part of a multi million pound project in our Polar regions! Look North Weatherman Paul Hudson discovers there are THREE Boatys and one of them has just set out on a voyage through the Orkney Passage in the Southern Ocean. On the Weather Show this week, Paul finds out what Boaty is doing there and why. Plus how we might avoid another catastrophic heatwave like 2003 across Europe - and Rossby waves in the sun's atmosphere. Paul learns about 3D laser mapping on the Welsh coastline - and chats to Weatherwatcher Clare from Sheffield.
