The Weather Thread

Spoke too soon. He's back! And still incoherent.


To answer someone's query above, I can confirm that Helen Willets, Louise Lear and Susan Powell are still around and often appearing on BBC World. Sarah Keith-Lucas hasn't been on for a while, and it's about 2 months since I've noted Sarah Wilmshurst on the channel.

Can't speak for BBC1 or BBC News Channel appearances.

Who are you talking about?

Sent you a PM, House.

I notice BBC Weather have a new graphic for weather warnings.



I think I preferred the old one.

Oh, I like that. The background text is reminiscent to the old 1999 BBC News titles.

Apart from Carol Kirkwood, where are the female weather presenters lately.

Always seems to be blokes.

They're over on Sky.

All two of them?

Does seem interesting, though, that the only regular weekday BBC One presenters at the moment seem to be Darren Bett, John Hammond, Alex Deakin, Laura Tobin, Nina Ridge and Nick Miller. Seems an interesting decision to focus on a small core of BBC One forecasters, and a couple of them seem interesting choices.

Not forgetting the very bland Matt Taylor who always seems to be on since the shift changes.

Louise Lear, Helen Willetts, Sarah Wilmshurst, Susan Powell and Laura Tobin are quite frequently on BBC World weather, especially Loiuse Lear. Sarah Keith Lucas used to be too, but gather she's in confinement at the moment.

Indeed, most 10.35pm bulletins now seem to be either Matt Taylor or Alex Deakin. Both very bland.

It's Dan Corbett's last day at the BBC - last broadcast on 5 live.
