´óÏó´«Ã½

Launched just before World War II then abandoned, regular TV weather forecasts were revived in July 1949. They consisted of charts, with a disembodied voice reading the weather bulletin. The big change to the modern format came in January 1954, when a Met officer interpreted the map in vision. George Cowling was the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s first ‘weatherman’. The clip shows the earliest known TV weather forecast in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ archive dates from 1959 broadcast by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Scotland.
