“Why is the weather so often presented by
attractive women?”
“Are weather presenters chosen primarily for their expert knowledge of meteorology or just
for their looks? Is the weather forecasting game more about being good with figures or is
it real about having a figure that looks hot in shorts? […] Northern countries tend towards
more serious weather presenting while countries further south go for weather glamour. It
also appears, the hotter the climate the less clothing weather girls seem to wear.
BBC Serious Weather. In the UK, BBC weather presenters are highly professional
meteorologists from the UK Met Office, a government sponsored organisation with links
to the Ministry of Defence. […] While the BBC weather presenter Laura Tobin is pretty and
personable, the emphasis is firmly on the weather and the camera
view is of the weather animation not the presenter's body.
Greek Weather. Mapia, the leggy weather presenter and weather
girl […] frequently strides in front of the map, swinging her hips.
Look at her body language. Her body is talking but not about the
weather!
Italy. Gabbi is clearly top of the class
as far as attractiveness goes but her presenting skills need
considerable improvement. Reading the weather from a
clipboard is certainly not appealing and she clearly has no
interest whatsoever in the chart behind her. How on earth
did she get the job?”
