Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

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 Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú’s first ‘weatherman’. The clip shows the earliest known TV weather forecast in the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú archive dates from 1959 broadcast by Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Scotland.
