A 'Sky at Night' type broadcast would be rather nice.


Now we would need a forecaster who has been around for several decades to
host that one! Any preferences?


Michael Fish might be looking around. Get Bill Giles in there too if
he;s interested. Who's the one I have forgotten?

Yes but with some of the "presenters" we have at the moment you'd want
them to put their clothes back on


And some people complain about the 'dolly birds' with no
meteorological training.

You can't win

And would eventually have to be totally incomprehensible & gaga!

No, no, we must stop... this was supposed to be a positive,
anti-whinge thread ;-)

If members of this group were asked to produce a 'uk.sci.weather'
daily broadcast/webcast, what would the format be?


Automated rolling format available 24/7 with features at set times
interupting the rolling stuff.

The rolling part would show animated national and regional rain radar
from the previous 6 hrs at 15min intervals, animated atlantic chart
-24hrs to +72hrs, animated symbolic national and regional weather map
to +48hrs (wind, temp, rain, cloud). Current conditions at national
and regional locations (temp, wind speed/dir, humidity, pressure sea
level and trend). This would take about 10 mins to roll around.

The "features" would be more of traditional forecast with a presenter
explaining the current conditions and showing from the projections the
reasoning behind the forecasted weather. These would also last about
10 mins every hour and shown no more than twice before being remade.

It would need 4 faces minimum, possibly 5 to cover 3 x 8hr shifts/day
24/7 with sick/holiday relief. These people would almost certainly
have to be trained forecasters in their own right.

As there is space for gawd knows how many movie/box office/sport
channels on satellite telly there must be room for a such a station.
Yes, I know we did have The Weather Channel but it folded. B-(
