Sky News: Today's weather forecast brings showers of stilletto heels!

Sky News is a UK rolling news channel (for those of you outside the UK). Their weather forecasters usually stand in front of a large screen to bring us the weather. Because of this we get see their female forecasters entirely - head to heels. Stilletos feature highly with their weather girls.

Here's some clips of Sky News weather forecasts I've found on Youtube so far:

There are other weather girls (including the gorgeous Lisa Burke) and when I find some clips I'll post them.

Wow, who says the weather forecast is boring? :santa_hat:

Our FOX 11 news (KTTV/Los Angeles), has a camera that shows the shoes of the "weather babes" quite frequently. ...Head to toe coverage taking up about 75% of the vertical screen. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a video on You Tube showing this. I may have to figure out how to use You Tube as it's disappointing not to have an example to share!

So, for now, I will tease my fellow viewers with the following videos of the lovely Jackie Johnson who works for KCAL 9 (owned by KCBS 2):

Doesn't it make you want to grab the video camera and zoom out a bit? She has such a nice range of outfits, but we are missing the important part! I sure wished she worked for FOX 11 instead. :w00t2:

If you think about it, the weather has to be one of the most boring things to watch, unless you are into meteorology. It looks like many of the networks have realized that one way to grab the viewer's attention, is to have a very nice looking, nicely dressed female weartherperson present the weather. Just based on reactions from our group, obviously this is working.

ITV breakfast is now doing full-length weathergirls, complete with decent heels.

It's even prompted some 'erbert on Teletext to send in the following:-

Something's afoot with weathergirls

Why are high-heeled shoes necessary to present the weather forecast?

DP, Littlehampton, West Sussex.

I generally mute the sound and just watch whoever walking around in her heels. If I want a real weather forecast, I watch the top half of Dr. Carol Kirkwood on the BBC !

He may have well have asked "why are weather forecasts presented by attractive young ladies?".

It's because they are attractive - duh!

The recent trend of 'full-length' female presenters wearing stiletto heels is just an extension of the same thing. What would DP of Littlehampton prefer them to wear? --- Ugg boots?

Probably not 'DP of Littlehampton' but 'DP with littlehampton'.

[To elucidate for those unfamiliar with UK rhyming slang: There is a modest town in England called 'Hampton Wick' = rhyming slang for the male organ (aka p***k). This is commonly shortened to 'hampton' - you can guess the rest.]

Lucy is sexy in a classy and businesswoman sort of way...like it.

Hi (first post so excuse me if I am out of place saying this). I am a big fan of Lucy Verasamy and watch Sky News every morning to get my fix of her.

Anyway, I had the absolute delight of standing next to her at a bar in London a few months ago. She was with some friends and I overheard her talking about how she wears heels on TV (sadly she wasn't wearing them that day :-( ) and they are at least 3 inches high.

Made my day tahat's for sure, and she is even more beautiful in real life.

D.
