I hadn't heard that he was going anywhere. Where did you hear that he
was leaving?

I saw a few comments on Twitter over the past couple of days from BBC
colleagues.


That's a shame. I think he was probably the best of the BBC
forecasters/presenters. Hopefully we will still see him from time to time
freelancing in documentaries, something that he seems to have been doing
increasingly over the last few years.

As he said on Twitter - "Time to try something new". I can certainly identify
with that thought. At various stages in my career I've taken 'leaps of faith'
into the unknown. It's what has sustained my career. Always stayed in
meteorology, though. Now into the second half of my 6th decade in the business.
