Interesting announcement from the Met Office a few minutes ago:

--------------------------------------------------------

Rob Varley has stepped down from his role as Chief Executive of the
Met Office.
Nick Jobling, currently Deputy Chief Executive and Chief Finance
Officer, will be interim Chief Executive with immediate effect,
pending the appointment of a permanent Chief Executive in due
course. This will ensure continued leadership of our world-class
National Meteorological Service.
Met Office operations and services are wholly unaffected by this
decision.

That wasn't on the radar. Oh no, there hasn't been any radar :-)

There's radar now! I wonder if there's a conection.

This was on the BBC website, it's not partcularly informative.

The BBC understands that Mr Varley left following an intervention by the
most senior civil servant at the Department for Business, Energy and
Industry.

This related to concerns about issues of "governance and management
controls" at the public body, which employs about 1,500 staff.

I must say that losing the real time weather output when you most need
it is a serious error.
