A few days ago I sung the praises of Sky TV's Francis Wilson. Now I
am impressed with another Sky weather presenter - Lisa Burke.

Sure in appearance she is a classic "weather girl". She was once
voted "sexiest weather girl of all-time" in a poll of 1,000 men. I
would not argue with that.

But seeing beyond her undoubted physical appeal, she clearly knows her
weather; so much so that I looked up her biography. Quote: "She went
to Cambridge and studied natural science. She graduated in 1999 with a
first-class masters degree in natural sciences. She came second in the
university, won two university prizes and was made a scholar of New
Hall." OK, not a degree in meteorology but certainly an impressive
CV.

TV weather girls all show and no substance? Certainly not Miss
Burke.
