As the storm approached, FitzRoy had the idea of trying

As the storm approached, FitzRoy had the idea of trying to draw on his own research to develop a system that could predict every weather station in the world. In addition to observing the storm, FitzRoy created two weather stations for the Royal Fleet, the HMS Trench and the HMS Hood. Each station was equipped with a unique system, which would detect every possible location on Earth in the forecast. The station would then monitor for weather trends with the help of the British Weather Service, a network of weather stations around the world that were also based in the UK.

The following year, the entire Royal Fleet was sent to the Canary Islands as a contingency for a storm. The HMS Hood arrived in the Canary Islands as an emergency response team—a group of British troops sent to assist with the rescue effort—and were subsequently assigned to watch the storm. The Hood was deployed to the Channel Islands on the afternoon of 8 July, bringing an unprecedented level of security. The two main British vessels, HMS Harrier and HMS Scull, were also dispatched to the Canary Islands.

FitzRoy's idea came to fruition on 8 July, when his father John, the renowned meteorologist, commissioned an enormous piece of equipment to record the weather station's weather forecasts. The weather station had a radar mounted on the back of the ship, and was designed to detect every possible location on Earth, including the Canary Islands. The weather station's only problem was that the station's radar would need to detect every possible station (or station-specific forecast) every hour of every day. But the weather station did detect an additional 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 weather stations with a combination of 20 different weather modes.

Weather data was sent to FitzRoy on the back of the ship and received word from the Queen's Royal Highness that she was ready to send a message to the Royal Fleet. When the Queen's Royal Highness requested that the weather station be sent to England, the Weather Service of England sent a message to FitzRoy. And as one of the most famous British weather forecasting teams of all time, FitzRoy was able to send the weather station to the British Fleet when they were just getting off the island at the end of the war.

FitzRoy was so excited about the idea that, after his father's death, he bought a copy of Time magazine. "The World Series of Weather!" a headline would say. But to his amazement, FitzRoy was able to get more than one weather station to send to
