The Weather Forecast Thread

Also it's impossible for us to get hurricanes in the UK!! Strong gales yes, but not proper hurricanes.

Gemma Humphries Meridian tonight ..

Presenter says to Gemma : Gemma the weather, they still call you that?
Gemma: I don't know know you can call me what you want.

Me: Now there's an invitation.

When she tells me we're either going to shedloads of snow or 30c +i'm afraid she's gonna get called alot of unrepeatable names.

I don't like weather forecasters they always give you bad news with a smile.

Does it really matter what the weather will be like when she presents though ?!

Btw does she just 'do' the weather for the South edition of Merdian Tonight or the others also ?

Does anyone know why the smoothness of the animation on the BBC national weather forecasts varies?

When the Weatherscape maps launched, the animation was rather juddery. Sometime last year it became a lot smoother, but very often it reverts back to the juddery motion. Seems odd.

Gemma does weather for South and South East during the week and sometimes Thames Valley as well at weekends if she's the Meridian forecaster 'on-shift' (Simon Parkin does weekdays for Thames Valley).

I don't like the shadow on the text now on the BBC's weather. Looks cheap.

Yes, and here's a cap for you all to have a nosey at.

They seem to have made the sunny areas brighter or is that just me?

God what a boring post.

Do all regions get the same forecast and just rebrand it with their name?

Double post.

Snazzy new graphics.. shame they don't use them on the normal weather forecasts!



If you mean on local forecasts, then no it's just the ITV Weather logo, on both local & national forecasts.

It's been a while since we've had one of these in this thread, but...

Is Elizabeth Saary pregnant? Looked like it the other night.

I'd doubt it. But if she is then she's obviously been busy as she's just been off on maternity leave.
