This is Derek Brockway's confession: he is obsessed with the weather, and has been for most of his life. He is not unlike thousands of the television viewers who watch his daily forecasts without fail, of course, but his passion goes much further than curiosity about tomorrow's sun and rain. He loves metereology itself; he loves to watch the skies, to read the cloud patterns and record the temperature; he loves to measure rainfall and count the hours of sunshine. Anyone who has seen him present a weather report will know that Derek is in his element with the charts and weather symbols, especially when extreme weather is on the way.
