From captaining Darwin’s Beagle, to founding weather forecasting as we know it today, Robert Fitzroy led a remarkable yet ultimately tragic life. In this the first in a new Mostly Weather mini-series, we induct Fitzroy into the Mostly Weather Hall of Fame Regular podcasters Jeff Norwood-Brown and Claire Witham are joined by Met Office's archivist Catherine Ross to take a look at the life and achievements of the founder of the Met Office.
