It’s frightening to believe but the current ITV Weather graphics have been in use for three years next month.

I still find them much better and clearer that the BBC’s graphics. I guess they won’t change too much until an ITV News revamp... if and when that will ever happen.


3 years!! Wow. I cannot believe how quick that's gone.. after all this time though, it really annoys me how the colour schemes of the temperature circles seem to be messed up. i.e: 1 degree can sometimes be shown in a mild yellow colour. it seems like the colours are still not 'in sync' with the temp.

I think the temperature colours change in relation to the time of year. For example, 15 degrees in February would be orange where as yellow/green in July.

Happy Michael Fish Day, everyone.


In other news, love the tweet from @TVLive sharing Michael Buerk getting ripped into a hapless Ian McCaskill for getting the prediction of the storm SO wrong!

As I always say, the best bit is not that Fish failed to say that there would be a hurricane, but that he specifically went out of his way to say that there wouldn't.

It wasn't a hurricane at all, not just "technically". The issue was that the Met Office at the time had been making cutbacks, and the computer models incorrectly predicted the path of the storm with the limited data available.

For me, October 16th will always be primarily the 1973 birth of Capital Radio, and secondly the 1987 Great Storm.

Channel TV now has an in-vision weather presenter during GMB and at weekends. Not sure if the same for UTV? Or if remains separate from hubbing.

Slight issue with the ITV National Weather tonight. Someone must have pressed play a bit early as we missed the start, so at the end, we had Alex standing there for a bit, then a VT clock, and then the generic ITV logo, before the Halfords sponsorship kicked in.
