I don't think I can make this any clearer to newspapers and online outlets writing Easter weather stories...
Stop writing it, because it's not going to happen, and shows that you're writing for clicks and shares, rather than to inform with a factual, balanced view.
Hi everyone,
Thanks for asking, but no need to worry, I’m fine. The wrong take of the pre-recorded weather was aired.
Who was at the door shall remain a mystery…
In the meantime, here’s what you should have seen.
So far this spring, we've had more sunshine than we had in the WHOLE of summer 2024!
SPRING 2025 (up to 13th May)
507.0 hours of ☀️
SUMMER 2024
491.6 hours of ☀️
Hi @DailyMirror. Seems you're struggling to write a headline reflecting reality, so to help, I've written a corrected version below.
For convenience, I've also included a shortened version - which shows the only thing we're being battered by is your swirling cesspit of garbage.
Whilst it’ll still turn colder later this week, it’s no beast, with snow mostly over hills in the north.
Funny how lots of newspaper/online articles fail to note this, as it’s more convenient to continue the ‘beast from the east’ narrative for clicks and shares... 🤔
It's #NationalWeatherPersonDay.
Things people often don't realise about us;
- we don't use autocue, it's ad-libbed from memory
- we research weather ourselves and make our own graphics
- you see a map behind us, we see nothing
I've done about 40,000 live broadcasts in total!

The Daily Express has published an appalling, irresponsible and misleading weather article, giving the impression that ‘150mph winds’ will hit the UK this weekend.
Let me show you, with evidence, why this couldn't be further from the truth.
I see some outlets are being stupidly creative by headlining 250mph jet stream winds ‘hitting’ the UK.
A) the jet stream is around 30,000ft up in the sky, so it won’t be ‘hitting’ UK
B) 250mph jet stream will be above the mid Atlantic Ocean, which isn’t the UK
Just stop…
