In later years , Fish claimed that he had been referring to that year 's Atlantic Hurricane Floyd affecting the Florida Keys at the time , in a link to a news story in the BBC One O'Clock News that preceded the weather bulletin . But he did not mention Florida in his forecast , which was made amid widespread worries about a coming storm : that morning , the '' Surrey Mirror '' had warned of " furious gales " , so both his caller and his viewers likely believed he was referring to Britain . Fish did go on to warn of high winds for the UK , although the storm that actually occurred was far stronger than he had predicted , albeit technically not a hurricane . 15 years later he commented that if he were given a penny for every mention of that forecast , he would be a millionaire . In 2012 , a clip of the bulletin was shown as part of a video montage in the London 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony
