Who needs a green screen when you’ve got an entire green(ish) lawn?

The new weather changes prompted me to rake through my archives of the last 16+ years of doing weather and it has been a wild ride (which started off very breathy and high pitched) 🫣 - here’s to the next 16!

Lovely welcome to BBC London tonight - what a friendly team. Thanks for making my “first day” smooth!

I’ll still be working in weather though, mostly for the team at BBC London and occasionally popping up elsewhere around the country. (2/2)

There are some big changes happening within local weather at the BBC, which mean that last night was my last regular appearance at BBC Look North, though I’ll be back from time to time. They’re the best team I’ve ever worked with and I’m going to miss them terribly (1/2)

This is what local radio is all about and I’m proud to work with the absolute best. Class act, Total Sport lads. Rest in peace Big Davey. ❤️🤍❤️🤍 #tiltheend

Jay was such a lovely colleague and friend - we had such laughs at the weather centre in the good old days; and I’m shocked to hear of his death today.

Flying ‘through’ a double full rainbow this morning was just lovely 🌈

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supported and sponsored me yesterday in the Great North Run. I struggled a lot having felt a bit unwell but proud to have finished it. There were tens of thousands of people lining the streets - it was incredible.

Starting to get emotional already ahead of this years #GNR. It’ll be number 16 for me but a really poignant one in memory of my father-in-law. Collecting as much sponsorship as I can to help @ProstateUK https://t.co/8qk2rmmBRq

Early look at @Great_Run weather for next Sunday and could be lovely for spectators! As someone who doesn’t enjoy running in any more than 10 degrees, a little too hot for me - sunscreen and hydration will be a must.

Managed a 10 mile run today - only two weeks to go until the Great North Run. This year I’d like to raise as much as I can to support Prostate Cancer UK in memory of my father-in-law Pete https://t.co/9Mr0ebmRIN

Great parkrun this morning - and getting excited now for the Great North Run in a few weeks, which will be my 16th!!! Running in memory of my father-in-law who died earlier this summer and raising what I can for @ProstateUK https://t.co/8qk2rmmBRq

My lovely father-in-law died seven weeks ago today. In a month I’ll be running the Great North Run to raise money in his memory. https://t.co/4x2qxCadbW

Can’t believe it’s six weeks until the Great North Run, which will be my 16th. This year I’m running for @ProstateUK in memory of my lovely father in law, Pete, who died five weeks ago. 🥺💔 https://t.co/CoTZs96aGP

May you have as restful a day as Nutmeg.

I created this thread in 2022 but it’s useful to respond to the question that some are asking: why do other countries seem to manage in the heat but not the UK.

Stunning Noctilucent clouds tonight at Souter lighthouse. The best display I have seen in 5-6 years @JenBartram @itvweather @bbcweather @metoffice

This Prodigy set is unreal #glastonbury @bbcglasto
