Â鶹ԼÅÄ

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ԼÅÄ’s first ‘weatherman’. The clip shows the earliest known TV weather forecast in the Â鶹ԼÅÄ archive dates from 1959 broadcast by Â鶹ԼÅÄ Scotland.
