dont get me wrong, he is a star. Because he isnt on that often its fun to watch him, with his unique style. If he was on all the time I would probably eventualy hate him!!
But if you want a detailed ,accurate proffessional forecast (like rob mcelwee or john hammond gives you), swich it off when daniel is on!
"the odd spot of rains popping in"
whats with this " rains " he keeps saying?!!... and " popping "!
thats all from me, for now
I agree with you to a point - except that I think his forecasts are just as accurate and professional as those of anyone else (Rob McElwee and John Hammond are, incidentally, also excellent).
The other key thing with Dan is that, as I have said before, you tend to come away from watching his forecasts knowing what the general weather story is - because the forecasts are memorable the information contained within them is memorable too.
With other forecasters it is easy to ignore what they say and have no idea what was contained in the bulletin - there's little chance of that with Dan!

Wash your mouth out IanPrice! Mr Corbett is truly a living legend. Put him on the nationals more often!
I love the plummy pseudo-English accent, all the more strange when you consider he spent most of his childhood in America IIRC. But it's more than just RP; it's the sort of accent a well educated foreigner would have with just a hint of hypercorrection (sorry, the linguistics training speaking here). A star at any rate.
