Yes, another one of that era gone. Sad indeed.

I never met Storm but we had emailed, mostly me picking his brains about things from the past, and he was always helpful, even when the topic related to Patrick Moore! I don’t know the full story of the bust up in the BAA with Storm and Patrick and others apart from what I’ve read in Martin Mobberley’s books.

Storm’s knowledge of weather phenonomena was amazing and I’ve got several of hie weather books. We most recently corresponded about Cecilia Botley who like Storm was also interested in the weather. I had emailed him last week about a book he had translated (Atlas of Great Comets by Ronald Stoyan) saying what a great book it is and would he pass my thanks onto the author. I never recieved a reply.

I look forward to reading more about his life as and when someone writes a biographical article about him.
