BBC Weather is the weather forecasting service that provides up-to-date weather forecasts across television, radio, and digital platforms for audiences in the UK and worldwide. The service covers national and regional outlooks, including temperature, rainfall, wind, and severe weather warnings, helping people plan their day with clear and reliable information. BBC Weather forecasts appear regularly across BBC One, BBC News, BBC Breakfast, and other BBC channels and online services.
At the heart of BBC Weather’s broadcasts are its experienced weather presenters and meteorologists. One of the most recognisable faces is Helen Willetts, a veteran meteorologist known for her calm authority, scientific insight, and clear explanations when presenting forecasts on BBC News and other platforms. Willetts has been with BBC Weather for over 25 years and is widely respected for her ability to make complex weather patterns understandable for viewers.
For many viewers, Carol Kirkwood has been synonymous with BBC Weather for more than two decades. However, in early 2026, she announced she will be leaving the BBC in April after more than 25 years. Alongside these big names, the BBC Weather team also includes other talented presenters such as Simon King and Chris Fawkes who offer forecasts that help audiences across the UK prepare for changing weather.
Together, these presenters and the wider BBC Weather team deliver accurate, authoritative forecasts that inform millions of viewers daily. Whether it’s everyday conditions, seasonal outlooks, or severe weather alerts, BBC Weather’s combination of expert analysis and clear communication ensures people stay informed and prepared.
