Good.
I don't doubt his acumen as a professional meteorologist, but as a
presenter he was practically unwatcheable.

Ron will be cracking open the champagne this morning! The problem is, no
good for us, but very popular with non weathery people, apparently.


And therin lies the problem.
99.99% of viewers to the forecasts aren't 'weather people'.
They don't really care about isobars, occluded fronts or
orographic rainfall.
They just want to know whether to take a brolly or the
picnic hamper.
