The wonderful irony being that you also didn't answer the OP's question!

Although it seems that the OP was not active on here for very long, other members (new or otherwise) may be interested in this topic, which is the motivation for my reply.

I have never heard anything of interest, least of all a "weather report", on the 2m V23 channel (145.2875 MHz), but I am able to get a very clear reception from Humber Coastguard. It transmits a weather report every 3 hours (for the most part, and during the day, least ways). Marine Channel 64 (160.8250 MHz) is where one can receive said report. The latest one was at 16:50 (BST, or 15:50 UTC) today.

I trust that this info will be of interest to some users that are within range of a Coastguard station, that's not too far from your QTH.
