Weather Presenter

A Weather Presenter, sometimes referred to as a Broadcast Meteorologist, is responsible for interpreting complex meteorological data and communicating weather forecasts to the public in an understandable, engaging, and accurate manner. This role involves more than just reading a script; it requires a strong understanding of weather patterns, climatology, and the ability to analyse data from various sources like radar, satellite imagery, and computer models. Presenters work across different media platforms, including television, radio, and online, often creating and delivering their own graphics and visual aids. They need to be adept at live broadcasting, thinking on their feet, and responding to breaking weather news, such as severe weather warnings. The job combines scientific expertise with strong communication and performance skills, often requiring early mornings, late nights, or weekend shifts to cover all broadcast times.
