Piers Corbyn - Personal Life

Personal Life

Corbyn was born in Chippenham, Wiltshire and began recording weather and climate patterns at the age of five, constructing his own observation equipment. He obtained a first-class honours degree in physics at Imperial College London, where he was a contemporary of Brian May. In 1969 he became the first president of the Imperial College Students' Union to be directly elected by the student body. Following some years of activism, he studied astrophysics in 1979 at Queen Mary College, London, later examining the relationship between Earth's weather and climate and solar activity. Following some years of weather prediction as an occupation, he formed WeatherAction, a business, in 1995. He is the brother of Jeremy Corbyn, the British MP.
