Why do weather forecasters feel they need to give the forecast in such a dramatic way? I just watched the one on countryfile...and Ive honestly no idea what the weeks weather is going to bring....thought she was doing an audition for a drama production....aaaagh!!!!

Alex Beresford is the one for me. He is on my local weather some times and also on the main ITV weather. Very easy on the eye. You can't concentrate on the forecast.

Well said Sue1169!

Has anyone seen the Welsh forecaster Owain Wyn Evans? He turned up on BBC Look North a few months ago. He really has a flair for forecasting, and has marvellous dress sense. My DH and I look forward to his forecasts.

The North East very rarely gets a mention on BBC weather reports (radio or TV). They tend to jump from The Midlands up to Edinburgh.

The best weather forecast is looking out of the window.

When forecasters get it wrong (as they often do) DH says "well hmmmph that wasn't in the weather forecast" as though God himself has somehow cocked up. hmm

Not a very kind remarks Sue1169 (Mon 21.10 ) and tigger (Mon 13.38) re Anya
That may be your opinion, but I think it is fairly irrelevant to the current thread and looks like ganging up inviting criticism of another poster by others.

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Indeed, Mrsjones - a well deserved Nobel Prize!

I have just watched our new (ish) weather forecaster here in the West Mids. He is a breath of fresh air (if you'll pardon the pun). His name is Des Coleman smile
