Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on October 29, 1967)

Happy Birthday, Derek! May your celebrations be brighter than a sunny spell over Snowdonia and warmer than the Welsh valleys on an August afternoon. You've forecasted countless storms with charm, walked miles across Wales sharing hidden gems—and somehow managed to make waterproof jackets look effortlessly stylish!

From guiding us through unpredictable weather fronts at BBC Wales to exploring scenic trails in "Weatherman Walking," you've become our trusted companion rain or shine. Here's hoping this year brings you clear skies ahead (though we know you'd secretly miss those dramatic clouds). Keep walking strong—your forecasts brighten even the cloudiest days!
