No contest - the sun is always shining when Lara Lewington does the weather on Chanel 5!

Rob McElwie - the way he often leaves you on a cliffhanger, especially when there is cold, hot, thundery weather on the way.... it will be like "signs of a change..mmmm.. well we will have to wait and see" (said with a cheeky grin, as if he knows something)

David Braine on the Beeb's Spotlight programme ticks most of the boxes. Accurate, well presented information with a mix of humour and seriousness. When lovely, cuddly Craig Rich retired, I wondered how he could be replaced, but David has slipped in to the role with consummate ease.

I am a fan!

I like Rob too. I'd say he's my second favourite.
D.C has now become a kind of lifestyle guru for me. If he says it's a good day for a picnic, then I go out for a picnic. If he says I need to take my mittens out with me, then I take my mittens out with me, etc.
Life has become far less complicated since I started following Dan's advice.

Has anyone seen good ol' DC on the cyclops lately? I can't remember seeing him for ages. I'm struggling getting through the days of late, without his pearls of wisdom.

I'm a Dan fan too and was just thinking yesterday that he's not been around lately

Hope he's not lost in transition to another channel

Thanks for the update Sunnydale. That's my mission now, to track him down.

You will get a reputation Chris - for stalking

There is a weather presenter who at present is thoroughly getting on my wick - I'm not going to name names cos thats not fair - but this persons way of speaking, how they describe the weather (one of the 'spits and spots' brigade) just gets on my pip I've got to the stage where its so annoying I cannot assimilate the weather at all - so I walk off now without the information! To be fair its a personality thing - plenty of people would probably find my strong accent and friendliness irritating - but thats what I'm trying to say - a presenter shouldn't be bigger than the thing they present......... and they should be presentable, well dressed and groomed and pleasantly spoken....... little affectations like Caroles shortwinded, breathy voice (too many cigs Carole!) and sparkly gloves and scarves, and Sians waving left-hand with fingers straight and thumb stuck out at an angle on the end of that supple wrist, Carole Gosneys playing back and too with the remote ........... (sad innit that I notice) these are all things that are almost endearing ..........

....... and err how have I gone off topic?? Well its Diane Oxbury for me
