'I couldn't live without it' - BBC Weather Watcher

"I couldn't live without it," says a BBC Weather Watcher after submitting more than 1,000 photographs to the website.

Cliff Salt, 82, from Staffordshire, who goes by the name Videoman, has been weather-watching since the scheme began in 2015.

"It's something I've always been interested in from school days, looking at the big clouds and so on," he said.

He regularly posts his photographs of the Staffordshire Moorlands and said he was delighted to see his work appear on BBC TV weather reports.

"I was really chuffed when I got an editor's pick," he said and added that it had made him feel "famous".

He is one of an army of BBC Weather Watchers across the nation and says he loves exploring the countryside with his wife, Mavis.

"A good scenery shot and just a general overall shot of the day" tended to work best for the scheme, he said.

He added: "I think it's got to show the day as it is. The cloud formation helps a lot."
