... well, if he did say that, then it's an oversight: there are plenty
of METAR & SYNOP reporting stations showing that it is still pretty
windy across the northern-half of the UK, and there is currently a
particularly anomalous 'squeeze' across the northern Pennines as the
upper ridge drifts in from the west.


Pity - I thought (having not seen Countryfile forecast in months) it was a
very well-given forecast, despite the fact that as Rob ages he appears to
be morphing (facially and sartorially) into Prince Charles.

Also suggests that although we've got a cold northerly it'll be nothing
special at low ground in the south. Move along, nothing to see here !
