It's a handy thing to keep a weather forecaster in the cupboard.

Sian Lloyd again did the ITV National Weather all across the main Christmas days.

Although with ITV's forecasts being recorded rather than live, she probably recorded a day's worth in an hour in the morning, or maybe even she recorded them all on Christmas Eve and wasn't really there on Christmas Day and Boxing Day at all

Nice touch with the fireworks going off across the UK flyover at midnight on BBC Weather.

It appears Debbie Lindley (of Granada/Yorkshire/Tyne Tees/Border) weather has presented her last forecast, I didn't catch it in full, but she said thanks for watching for the past few years or on the lines of. Shame to see her go.

I saw that, yes very nice. I hated the BBC's new weather graphics when they were introduced now I like them a lot.

Good god. If you thought the ITV Weather sponsorship stings with Sheila's Wheels were bad enough... then wait until you see the new Esure ones with Michael Winner.

Absolutley cringeworthy.

Just a heads up, GMTV will have new weather graphics on Monday. Sorry if its already been mentioned.

It appears the BMI Baby sponsorships of the ITV Regional Weather have changed at long last, just a CGI BMI Baby person walking across the world, but the end of the sponsor states the ITV Regional Weather.

I assume you mean your ITV region, as the sponsors vary throughout the different regions.

No new GMTV weather graphics introduced on Monday, though Kirsty starts next Monday.

Apparently, Tyne Tees North co-presenter Philippa Tomson may become weather presenter following her redundancy as newsreader.

I'll have to think of a 'Bridget Jones' gag for Pip if this is true.

AIUI BMI Baby sponsors the Regional Weather in a few ITV Regions aswell as Granada, I think Central use them too.

ITV Yorkshire weather is since Jan 2nd now sponsored by Wynsors World of Shoes - Fantastic footwear whatever the weather (A claim which I doubt Laughing )
