About This Program

The latest episode of the series focuses on two very different weather crises. Titled as a programme about the Mexican holiday hotspot Acapulco and the United Kingdom, it falls within the episode genre and presents a stark contrast between a tropical disaster and a temperate flooding event. In the first half, the show highlights how Acapulco, long‑known as a favourite destination for Mexican tourists, is battered by Hurricane Otis, which has set new records for intensity. The storm's unprecedented strength brings widespread destruction to the coastal city, underscoring the vulnerability of even popular holiday spots. The focus then shifts to the United Kingdom, where relentless rain has turned ordinary countryside into sprawling lakes. Continuous downpours have caused water levels to rise dramatically, flooding fields, roads and homes. The programme documents how the unending precipitation reshapes the landscape, creating a water‑logged environment across large swathes of the country. Both regions experience severe disruption to daily life as communities grapple with the aftermath. In Acapulco, the record‑breaking hurricane leaves residents facing damage to infrastructure and tourism facilities, while in the UK, the inundated terrain forces families to evacuate and local services to respond to widespread devastation. The episode paints a vivid picture of nature’s overwhelming force.
