Cringing a bit at some of these comments.

Always bright and breezy lovely lady. I wish her well.

I will miss Carol's happy, smiling face in the morning, a pleasure to see her.
I hope she enjoys her travel and retirement.
A little surprised to see sexist comments on here.

Indeed 🙄

Is that news.?

I posted this under ‘chat’ not ‘news and politics’.
So no, this is not meant to be news, but something to chat about, which some do seem to be doing.

She will be missed by many, including me.
I am pleased that she is going to enjoy more time with her husband, travelling and writing. ( I wish I had done more of that when I was newly retired).

Perhaps she’s finally had enough of the patronising way one or two of the presenters talk to her ……. ?

Good luck to her.

I think a lot of men are going to miss Carol, and it will have nothing to do with the weather 😃

Yes, my husband shows a pressing interest in the weather when she is reading it grin

I will miss her too. Such a beautiful lady!

Ziplok Tue 27-Jan-26 11:29:32

Yes, it will be sad to see her leave, but I wish her well in her next stage.
I wonder who will replace her?

Ilovedogs22 Tue 27-Jan-26 11:29:29

Oh, well that's a shame! I really liked Carol as a weather presenter.
She was as warm & sunny as a summer's day. I shall also miss seeing her naturally beautiful face & lovely smile. Best wishes to her in the next stage of her life. 😊👍💞

I love her voice, like Attenborough she has a very calming voice though hers has a gorgeous Scottish lilt.

Grandma70s Tue 27-Jan-26 11:22:25

She’s a ray of sunshine. I will miss her.

Michael12 Tue 27-Jan-26 11:21:31

I will miss seeing her on the Breakfast programme on the BBC Mondays to Wednesdays .

I will miss Carol. She is such a good and cheerful weather presenter.

She's going to be missed by many.

Carol was and is a breath of fresh air on tv. I always felt she was sincere. I'll miss her

She seems such a lovely person”

I agree, best wishes Carol

For a long time we have watched the bright and beautiful Carol present the weather, she has always come across as a genuinely nice person and has made even watching bad weather forecasts a pleasure.
But like all of us she is retiring in April to enjoy a new chapter in her life with her husband and family.
All the best Carol 👋🏽
