This is only vaguely related, but I moved from the UK to the US, and missed the shipping forecast. Listening to it online isn't quite the same thing.

Eventually I stumbled across WWV[1], a shortwave station broadcast by NIST which has satisfied the need in my life.

Ostensibly it is for broadcasting the time, but it also includes storm warmings (especially from WWVH - the Hawaii transmitter), and space weather forecasts. So cool.

You can find it at 2.5, 5, 10, 15, and 20 MHz on your Shortwave radio.
