Lord Dunboyne

Tonight, and on each of the next five Thursday evenings at 9.20 listeners are to hear a five-minute prediction of the Weather Outlook by Lord Dunboyne. Let it be noted that these predictions have no connection whatsoever with the official forecasts which precede the news bulletins.

Lord Dunboyne, who specialised in navigation during his twenty years' service in the Royal Navy, has made meteorology his life-long study, and was appointed in 1913 to found and organise the original Naval Meteorological Service. Since the war he has contributed many articles on the weather outlook to various periodicals and papers.
In his opinion the forty-eight-hour limit of weather forecasting - the part known as 'Further Outlook' - can be extended to as much as two or three weeks ahead. He offers his predictions in a sporting spirit for the verdict of listeners.
