What on earth was Louise Lear wearing last night? She looked terrible!


Yeah, I've seen her wear it a few times before when she's done the late News 24 forecasts/regional forecasts during Breakfast .

I saw her wearing that this morning - it was hideous to say the least. All the more entertaining having read this thread yesterday and seen the comments about her dress sense!

The woman must get dressed in the dark!

She was wearing the same rags during the overnight weather bullies as well.

Lightning shown on the BBC forecast tonight. Not seen that before. It's animated and only shown on the close-ups.

They're adding things all the time, but still need more. The presenter said it'd be foggy but there was no sign on the map - where was the foggyness!?


Fog appears to have been introduced recently - although its use seems fairly haphazard. The mighty Dan had some fog on his maps yesterday early-evening on BBC One.

Just watched the 2232 weather and it included fog. Unfortunately it looked like an unshaded area, ie sunshine.

Marvellous forecast by Rob on the One today.

The graphics work so long as they're used properly. Many forecasters do a traditional report with the new graphics and it doesn't work.

Rob not only explained about the depression (isobars over the atlantic shown at the end of the forecast) and went into detail about where the weather was doing what. Marvellous.

Which is correct. To have it shaded would mean that it was cloudy, when it isn't, it's foggy. When will people start to appreciate that what is shown on the map is what happens on the GROUND! Clouds don't generally occur on the ground, but they do cast shadows - hence them being shown as shadows. Fog does occur on the ground, so it's shown as foggyness.

He really is one of their best presenters as he always explains the weather. I always find forecasts more engaging and interesting when we're told why the weather is as it is, rather than just being told what's going to happen.

She often does it when Helen or Louise are covering the Breakfast shifts. She also occasionally does the Six weather.
