Will be interesting to see how this unfolds - and who gets the job. Surprising.

It could spell big job cuts and the beginning of the end of public forecasting.
If they keep using Met Office model data we might not notice much difference.

Won't it be "interesting" if they give the job to Piers Corbyn ;-)

BBC weather forecasts have reached the stage where they are far more
concerned with showing off the whizzy features of their irritating
virtual Britain display than informing people about the weather.
