Publisher Description:
Weather has always been a talking point in the UK, but there is also a national obsession over how the forecast is made and the people who appear on our television screens. This book is different. It doesn't really fit into a single category. Certainly it is unique as it deals with the background to a remarkable journey that made the BBC Weather Centre a world leader. It is also different because the book has two authors, which is a reflection of the two very different disciplines that brings the weather forecasts to our screens each night. It reflects a time of great change for two of the country's leading institutions. Both the Met Office and the BBC grappled with creeping privatisation whilst trying to maintain the highest scientific and broadcast standards. The world was changing and both organisations, with international roles to play, were still able to provide leadership.
