Bbc Weather Presenter

[Caran]

I think he's new, only seen him twice. His name is Owain Wyn Evans.
He certainly is eye catching. This morning he wore an off pink three piece suit with very strategically placed jewellery!
Has anyone else seen him in the mornings?

[Bobbisox1]

Arh , that explains it, thanks Zac

Owain has been on BBC Look North West for quite some time now. The focus these days isn't on the weather - it seems to be more on the presenter.

[tiggerblue10]

I've never seen him before. Is it just regional weather he does?

[Zacs-Master]

He does National now as well.

[10ClarionSt]

Yes. Only the weather.

[gingejbee]

Good grief...never seen him before, don't want to see him again.
I want the TV weather from a trained meteorologist, not a "read-it-from-autocue" presenter, who obviously wants to make a name for himself.

[elliemay1]

I still don't get the 'very strategically placed jewellery!'

[Hopkirk]

Gingejbee, what makes you think he is less qualified than the other weather presenters?

[Arksided]

I don't know of whom you speak, however that Fish fella was always bang on the money.

[Theland]

I love him!
His own style!
I think he's started a new fashion of men wearing brooches in the lapel buttonholes.
See if it catches on.
His manner is such he could host a chat show.

[brainiac]

I'm afraid my finger would be hovering over the remote control if he was doing the weather in my region. I just want a clear, calm forecast, as with the BBC 1 presenters after the news, not some sort of self-aggrandizing 'performance'. ITV Central have someone called Des Coleman who's full of himself, and thinks he's in some sort of rap video

[gingejbee]

Hopkirk...a "weather presenter" is just that...somebody who reads a script written for them. They have very little meteorogical knowledge...usually a short "get to know the basics" course. All the ITV presenters and BBC local presenters are like this.
The BBC national people are proper qualified meteorologists who prepare their own forecasts...and it shows.

[Vagus]

He’s great, I love his presenting style as well as his clothes. A refreshing change, and a nice bloke too.

[grumpy01]

They all annoy me bar two,Carol Kirkwood and Chris Fawkes.

[Hopkirk]

Surely you should include Louise Lear, Grumpy?

[grumpy01]

I don’t mind her.The ones who really irritate me are smarmy Nick Miller,Matt Taylor who,when he speeds up sounds like Jimmy Macjimmy and Stavros who all looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights.

[grumpy01]

Always looks like etc..

[grumpy01]

Also forgot to include Ben Rich who always looks stressed.

[Paigntonian]

'First gay weatherman'. Just attention-seeking. Almost instant fame. The job will be just a vehicle. All very Rylan double-barrelled.

[Mamyalynne]

Owain has been in Broadcasting since he was 18, hardly instant fame - he's charming, fun and witty.
