ITV Weather is the national and regional forecast shown on UK terrestrial networkITV, and is provided by theMet Office (except the Channel Islands forecast, which is provided by the Jersey Meteorological Department). Bulletins are usually broadcast after everyITV News andITV regional bulletin; since March 2022, however, ITV Weather runs as a segment of theITV Evening News, live from the news studio on weekdays. Emma Jesson is the longest serving forecaster after 30 years with ITV Weather.
The national bulletin launched on the ITV network on 13 February 1989, airing after ITN bulletins which compliments the previous regional arrangements whereby the separate ITV regional licence holders were responsible for providing weather forecasts themselves only for their regional franchise areas.[1]
