Default Man buys weather station; gets national news coverage

Am I missing something here? This man has bought a Davis Vantage Pro and is
using "Weather Underground" software, as are many other people in the UK,
yet this appears to qualify him for a piece in the Daily Mail, and five
minutes on Radio 5's evening news programme (at about 6.50 if anyone can be
bothered to Listen Again).


Still, if it encourages more people to buy home weather stations, it
can't be a bad thing...
