<span class="mw-page-title-main">Weather presenter</span> Person who presents the weather forecast on television

A weather presenter is a person who presents the weather forecast daily on radio, television or internet news broadcasts. Using diverse tools, such as projected weather maps, they inform the viewers of the current and future weather conditions, explain the reasons underlying this evolution, and relay to the public any weather hazards and warnings issued for their region, country or larger areas. A weather presenter is not necessarily qualified as a meteorologist. Preparation to become a weather presenter varies by country and media; it can range from an introduction to meteorology for a television host to a diploma in meteorology from a recognized university. Therefore a weather presenter is not to be confused with a meteorologist, or weather forecaster.
