1st May

On a whim, I checked BBCi after work - and there was Dan, but he wasn't on BBC News.

BBCi UK Forecast
Hello there. I bet by now you're finally looking forward to letting the old raincoat and umbrella dry off. They will do over the next couple of days, we're finally saying goodbye [waves - see pic] to the area of low pressure.

Still reasonably mild... so if you are nipping out for the evening hours, a light coat and I think you'll be fine.

A quiet sort of night, maybe you might even grab the telescope, you never know.

You look at things to start with and you say, 'yeah, not bad', but the next weather system will start to work in.

Then we get the weekend and we say, 'ugh, it's going to be a wash-out'.

19:26 BBC Four
We go through the night into the course of the weekend and you'll look to the south-west and you'll say, 'ah, that's the weekend weather'. But notice where it's going, it's tracking in a westerly direction, so it's the western parts of the UK that see it for the course of Saturday. The further east you are, put the deckchairs in the garden.

He was only on the same today (Friday). Very disappointing, seems to me that the women are in favour at the moment with management.

Perhaps someone's ill and they're having to shuffle shifts about a bit to cover.
