The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It's the national

talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast. Most of the viewers imagine

that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the

weather, and then go home.

In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute

bulletin

which we all rely on when we need

to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a

highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to

collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. The information is very detailed and

includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the

relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps

into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully

planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn

up which lays out the script word for word.

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened

after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time

is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted

to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be

pre- recorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go

wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's

predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them,

this

is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always

possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to

predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include

the pollen count for hay fever sufferers. Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to

help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just

pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with

stressful and challenging conditions.
