I've just had the good fortune of hearing this for the first time in quite a while. Eden is allowed to reel off all the interesting stats in details without interruption. It reminds me of the time the old Radio 4 report and forecast after the midnight news was compulsive listening. I realise in this age of catch-up you can listen at any time of the day but it's a shame that the daytime output isn't as authoratitive.

I'd forgotten about that, or never knew about it in the first place. I'm a very late retirer and riser so I should listen, but what time is it on?
There can't be many programmes that are better on R5 than their equivalent on Radio4, but this would seem to be one of them. I always listen to the Radio4 programme, dumbed-down robotic snippet really, and always end up wanting to punch the radio or address the presenter fortissimo unparliamentarioso. Not so Mr Eden, provided he has the time.

"Last night" it was on at 1.45am. I've known it to be on later, though. I think the presenter, Rhod Sharp, is fairly flexible though and lets events on the night dictate. I can never work out if the slot is live or recorded as it's like two old friends having a chat

It's a pity it's not on at a fixed time, or I'd record it and listen to
it the next day. As it is I'll have to make do with his weekly column in
the Sunday Telegraph.

Far too late for me, but I'm sure it would be excellent.

I just hope Philip Eden's Easter forecast - "A distinctly lovely weekend in
prospect." - is better than that made by Julia Slingo for a "Barbecue
Summer" :-)

Cheers, Alastair.

How do we know that warming of the planet will not lessen the temperature gradients thus possibly creating more homogenised weather with less extremes?
