There was some time ago a thread in this group about national weather
presenters which grouped them into three categories: top notch,
hopeful futures, dismal ones.

My top notch picks:

Philip Avery
Peter Gibbs
Laura Tobin
Helen Willetts
Susan Powell
Alex Deakin

And that would kind of be it, perhaps Jay Wynne comes into
consideration too.


Your choices?

I'd agree with most of your list, but I haven't been impressed by what
I've seen of Laura Tobin.

I like her. The only thing I kind of don't is her voice, it's a bit
not to my liking. Anything in particular you don't like?

Or forecasters you find downright annoying or dismal?

Peter Gibbs I do like.
Authorative, no nonsense and tells it like it is.

My favourite presenter is Rob McElwee though.
I like his rather quirky and teasing style though I
appreciate some people find him intensely irritating.
I've not seem him for a while though.....

Worst by far is desperate Dan Corbett.
Too awful for words, barely watchable.

The relentless smile, and she also gives the impression (I'm sure
wrongly) of not really having much understanding of the weather.

The ones who seem to put more effort into coming across as friendly than
they do into providing an intelligible forecast.

I'm one of those people. I really can't stand him. Especially the
voice/tone.

Someone mentioned here it's as if he tries to prove how clever he is
in front of some mates in the pub.

She studied Physics and Meteorology at Reading University.

Suzanne Charlton is good as well. :-)

She is. Apparently, now works part time for the BBC, I haven't seen
her in a while.

There was also Isobel Lang, but she moved to sky. She studied maths, I
believe.
