Default I laughed... Piers Corbyn

I happen to hear the Talksport news at midnight last night on the radio and they had Piers on saying something about the present weather.

They introduced him as Piers Corbyn from the Met Office.

Has he become the new Chief Exec.?

It sounds as though the presenter shared what I suspect is a common
misconception, that anyone who attempts to forecast the weather must be
from the Met Office. Did Piers correct him?
