For the jazz fusion band, see Weather Report.






You've seen it. Possibly even in real life. There's a man or (generally attractive) woman, standing in front of a green screen or LED wall, telling you what the weather will be like just before the News Broadcast ends. Characters might check one of these before they head out on an excursion or adventure somewhere, or it might be seen in the background.
If the weather is incorrect, it is generally played for laughs, either with a Disproportionate Retribution episode, or with the characters insisting to go fishing when it's pouring buckets anyway. You may even get someone insisting that it is such a beautiful day.
If the weather is correct, chances are that the weather is horrible (occasionally cue "Oh, like he's ever right.") or that this signals the end of the episode/movie/book. Blue skies, lovely weather predicted and it's correct? Time for your happy ending.
Not to be confused with the Jazz Fusion band Weather Report.

Many of the Story of Seasons games let you check the weather forecast on TV to see what the weather for the next day will be like. Some are accurate, and some are not. One of the bachelorettes in Story of Seasons (2014), Lillie, is the local weather forecaster and very talented in meteorology.

Whose Line Is It Anyway?:
Parodied with the man in front of the green screen (usually Colin) having no idea what's being shown behind him, and has to guess based on other people's reactions.
Also a part of the Weird Newsanchor game, where one of the performers (usually Ryan) have to present the weather in an unusual style. An unusual one can be seen here

Stardew Valley, being a Spiritual Successor to the Harvest Moon series, has a weather channel that tells you what the next day's weather will be like. It also reminds you of upcoming events like the Egg Festival (which, oddly enough, never seem to get rained out).

King of the Hill had Nancy Gribble, who was blatantly only hired because she was gorgeous in a time where "weather girls" didn't need to know the weather, just be pretty on the television. The closest thing they actually had as far as equipment to predict the weather was one fax machine. One episode has Luann take her job as she's getting older, making Nancy fret about her looks. Eventually they replace her with an actual weather expert because "it turns out people actually want to know the weather." She frets for the whole episode about being replaced before she's upgraded to an anchorwoman and has a slightly better job.

Sesame Street: News anchorman Kermit introduces a new weatherman, Simon Soundman, who does a weather report using sounds for different kinds of weather (wind blowing, a foghorn for fog, rain and thunder for a rainstorm). Kermit fires him and brings in another weatherman, whose report brings actual wind, fog, and rain into the newsroom.

An Al Brodax Popeye cartoon had the sailor as a weather forecaster under Olive's charge. Brutus sabotages Popeye's sunny forecast with a rain created with moth balls which gets him fired. When he gets wise, he turns the table with a spinach-created rain.

You see (or rather, hear) several of these in Persona 4, and it's important to keep track of the weather - when someone is trapped in the TV world, you only have until the next foggy day to save them (otherwise they're killed and you get a Nonstandard Game Over). The weather report is always accurate, because if it were inaccurate you'd have no way to know how much time you have left. Its accuracy is lampshaded early on, when Nanako wonders if the weather forecaster actually controls the weather. In Golden, in the best ending, Marie (who literally controls the weather) gets the weather-report job.

In Sonic Mania, a weather report is actually the boss fight for Studiopolis Act 2. Eggman himself just flies around while a weather report plays on a TV screen in the background. Each weather prediction is the next attack: wind sucks you up into spikes at the top of the screen unless you grab the bars on the left and right side, sun causes hot light to shine down on you, damaging you unless you hide under Eggman (which also forces him low enough that you can attack him).

Drake & Josh has the eponymous pair's dad as a weatherman. He's highly inaccurate (but aren't the studios supposed to find out the weather correctly?), such as the episode where he predicted nothing but clear skies, only for a massive storm to develop a short time later.

She replies that it's partly cloudy, 72°F, and a good day for krill fishing. Ratchet corrects her by stating that he was meaning the ongoing genocidal invasion by Tachyon.

In The Crumpets, Pfff Crumpet enjoys watching weather reports because of the attractive weather girl. In separate episodes, the weather reports would cover a worldwide theft of water and a falling meteor that would crash the Crumpet house, and the weather girl visits that house in at least two occasions.

An episode of CSI has the team investigating the murder of an anchorwoman that during a blackout in the midst of a huge storm. Julie is surprised to discover the weather girl, who looks like the typical bubbly blonde model, is actually an accomplished meteorologist who admits she dresses in tight clothing "as otherwise I'd be home watching the girl who didn't" report the weather. She proves her smarts giving the team details on the storm to help solve the case.

The very first skit ever taped for You Can't Do That on Television deals with the show's producers saving money by hiring children to do the weather forecast, for the ample wages of $1 a day. Ross (Les Lye) offers to teach Jonothan, one of the kids, how to recognize weather, which consists of nailing him with buckets of water to simulate various forms of precipitation. Jono gets his own back by drenching Ross with several buckets of water, followed by putting one of the empty buckets over Ross's head (to simulate fog) and drumming on it (to simulate thunder). As an added bonus, the skit was taped on the actual weather set of CJOH in Ottawa, the TV station that produced the show.
