The air just goes fmmm [ignition gesture], like that with the heat of the day.

Then it's literally just turn the gas flame up, they [the showers] just bubble up a bit more.

It'll be one of those mornings you think it'll be lovely, sunglasses [sunglasses gesture], stick the umbrella in the bag [brolly-in-bag gesture].

This mass of speckles, almost like blue measles across the British Isles.

Wow, a new Dan-ism:
Notice the clumps of cloud bubbling with the heat of the day ... like almost lumps of mashed potato.

You'll probably be out there with the umbrella [umbrella gesture] as you maybe stand on the platform or waiting at the bus stop, the south coast same sort of thing and then work down to south-west England as well, look at it, like we've gone like that [throwing gesture] with the blue paint and kept on going.

With the heating of the day like almost turning the gas flame on, it goes vmmm [ignition gesture] and that's what'll happen to the showers, vmmm [raises hands] up they go.

Twitter alerted me to the fact that Dan had been on TV with his sleeves rolled up. Gasp!

The whole swirl of showers sort of spinning around, almost like looking at lumps of clothing spinning around a washing machine [draws circle in the air].

We'll try to bring in this weather front but he's still sitting there almost waiting on a platform sort of thing.

Watch again on the iPlayer, 49 minutes in, available for 7 days from broadcast.
Not sure how long that nifty link gadget has been hidden there in the iPlayer programme information (probably for as long as they've been keeping track of who links to their programmes), but I'm not entirely convinced that you will be whisked straight to the start of the forecast, despite having chosen that option.

UPDATE
Turns out the linky thing is new. The 'current point' button still does nothing to change the url for me Ah! Turns out you have to press it WHILE the video is playing, not when paused. Counter-intuitive? Anyhow, it works now:
Ta daa!
