He's been saying that for ages.

We had 'bubbles of high pressure' and 'dangling fronts' this time.
And why does he insist on personalising fronts, as in 'this little
fellow coming into NW Scotland'?

I wish they wouldn't let him loose on the most important TV
weather forecast of the week.

But how much notice do you take of he presenter? I mainly look at the
isobar charts that run through the week and make my own judgment.

Agreed Keith. Mute the sound and you often get a better idea of what's going
to happen. Some presenters are very good but others are too animated and
distract from the content.

Speaking of which I saw a youtube clip of Mr Schaferknacker throwing a
mild wobbler live on air as he wasn't sure whether he was actually
"live or not". These C-list celebs...

This particular phrase isn't new though, I well remember a "little
fellow" (aka secondary low) which rained off the first Saturday or
Sunday (forget which) in June 1994, in an otherwise good month.

Is it not time that those who want to have a weather forecast rather
that an episode of play school with Dan, Tom, and Carol, need to make
some well worded complaints to the BBC.
