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.

Perhaps Piers Corbyn will apply for the post
