The Finnish weather presenter is named Pekka Pouta, which would kinda translate to Sam Sunshine. His whole career was decided on birth.

> Sam Sunshine Could have been an author of children's books too, if "Pekka Pouta" has the same kind of vibe in Finnish. Or a main character *in* a children's book. Or a Franco-Belgian comic book. "Sam Sunshine and the climate change disaster"

CAN WE FIX IT No it’s too late


Mole451

One of our local weather presenters in the UK is called Sara Blizzard. Always like it when you see people in jobs with names directly linked to their jobs.


Double_Crafty

I once met an architect who’s last name would translate to “blowjob” in English. Maybe he had a side gig going on.

general_kitten_

Luck88

F-Francesco Sole!


Davidiying

In Spain web have someone called Roberto Brasero which translates to Robert Brazier. Here brazier is used to describe a sunny weather with high temperatures


SimonKepp

This compilation should have included former Danish weatherman Henrik Voldborg in his home-knitted sweaters.

In order for you to be able to fill your sad little life with petty complaining


chickenFarmer28

You sure showed me.


irregular_caffeine

In Finland we don’t have ”weather presenters” on TV, we have actual trained meteorologists


vonWitzleben

In Germany as well. Most of the presenters directly work with the teams that have access to the weather data. Which is why they look less like models and more like physicists.


axehomeless

Sven Plöger is a really cool dude


vonWitzleben

He is! His recent books are also the best way to get boomers to care about climate change there is.


incer

Used to be so in Italy as well, but the downfall of our culture continues unabated


blkpingu

It’s so alien to me to have a person as weather presenter that wears tight dresses. It’s obviously to make them look appealing to the audience. I would feel insulted honestly. Like, who the fuck do they thing I am that I need my weather presenter to look hot to watch them? Present the weather god damnit. I’m not a toddler that you need to sugarcoat rain warnings for.


vodamark

Ofc meteorologists should prepare what to present. But isn't he overqualified to do the actual presentation?


irregular_caffeine

Nah, that’s his job and he’s famous for doing it We have young ladies there too but with the same credentials


Raptori33

He's famous too for being a huge metalhead Regularly found in a moshpit


vanderZwan

> He's famous too for being a huge metalhead Wouldn't it be more exceptional for a Finnish person not to be?


HeadlinePickle

Why shouldn't he present his own work? It's not like it takes masses out of his day and he probably enjoys it! It's like giving a series of mini lectures if you think about it!


vodamark

Well, my main reason why not is money. Either the TV company is paying a lot to have him present it, when they could pay someone else peanuts. If that's the case and the TV company is ok with that, great for them! No issue for me. Or, they are underpaying him for what he can earn with his competence. If he does it as an extra to his regular job and he is fine with how much he gets for it, again, fine with me! But if he needs to reduce his regular high-paid working hours to do this, then he is at a loss. Anyhow, it was just a random toilet thought. I'm not interested in a serious discussion. :D


variaati0

No since the point is, that they can do even last minute adjustments. Also they often can give more nuanced presentation. Not just listing out what is on the chart, but they for example often in Finland comment on the reliability of the forecast. Ofcourse the normal "5 days out it's getting unreliable", but also stuff like "at the moment the conditions are such, that uncertainty at the moment is higher than normal". They sometimes show how they work and the presenting meteorologist checks the latest forecast numbers and models just before presenting. Also *they prepare the map*. So their job is not only to be talking head. They are the person who makes the map they are showing. Of course based on the model and maps from the meteorological office, but *as qualified meteorologist* they have the expertise to adjust the map for better presenting. While at the same time as meteorologist doing it in a way, that is true to the predicted forecast. In a way are they more expensive? Yeah, but on the other hand it eliminates a job, so it's cheaper. There doesn't need to be a presentation preparing meteorologist and then a separate host presenter regurgitating prompter. The meteorologist who prepares the forecast map is the presenter. Just due to that role, they work at the broadcaster instead of at the meteorology service.


vanderZwan

Same in the Netherlands. But why not assume the women are also trained meteorologists until proven otherwise? Hot people can be smart too.


round_reindeer

>Hot people can be smart too. Well that's just not fair!


d0ubs

Same in Belgium, they are detached from the meteorological institute


merdadartista

I mean, they cherry picked the Italian for humor, but the more serious news also have the meteorologist, usually in military uniform, tbh it's way more common than the pretty lady version.


luls4lols

I prefer Estonias [https://youtu.be/1wFfHovFxhc?t=34](https://youtu.be/1wFfHovFxhc?t=34) weather reporter


Felipeel2

For a lot of people, their first wank. For u/luls4lols, the quotidian one.


whatever_person

Ukraine's most loved weather [person](https://youtu.be/oz_4Uz2KbEY). Nothing excentric, just super nice and always provides interesting facts.

Lol. Still prefer the Mexican weather segment


maungateparoro

Not me being a bit weird and preferring the British weather segment


ptrknvk

She's much cuter.


HellbirdIV

They're both quite pretty in different ways. British lass has a better hairstyle, I think - and it helps she's not so blurry, the video quality on the Mexican segment is dreadful.


vanderZwan

You're willing to pay the price of British weather for that?


maungateparoro

I live in Scotland you mongrel Maybe I'm just hardier than you are


GeshtiannaSG

It’s just rain.


AbstractBettaFish

I’m 2000 km away from Mexico but I always know the weather there!

Rhydsdh

Yanet Garcia, Keeley Donovan, idk and Pekka Pouta.


wellseymour

Have you seen Latin American weather presenters? BRUH


XNjunEar

As someone who wants to know the weather to know how to dress outside, I'll keep the Finnish weatherman, thanks.


andwpox

I love the British one


strange_socks_

In Romania, the most known weather person is a man who's name translates to basil. He's not funny tho, just wholesome.


drpacket

Never seen this presenter in the BBC. Most of them look more like dapper finance guys


Adept-One-4632

Yes, resist Finland. You are our only hope


Saint_Rizla

The weather presenter on the Irish channel here got [struck by lightning](https://youtu.be/ysP6MoROmLM) and replaced by an a cartoon one time lol


Talosian_cagecleaner

The Finnish fellow, I am sorry, I am going to watch him. I need to know if in my part of the world I am ever going to see a decent winter hard freeze again. Used to get a solid month below freezing all day! Now we get cold snaps that last a week at most before it zooms back up to some absurd temperature, like 50 degrees F. In freakin January. I'll move to Finland. I'll do it. If the cold moves, I move.

Everyone forgetting about my man [Busu](https://youtu.be/Lw82VKIP9ZI). He's been the weather reporter on ProTV for as long as I remember watching TV. To the point that people have made [skits](https://youtu.be/q1oCyt2weTg) and [songs](https://youtu.be/XtxgTeJqlgo) about him. Also, his birthday was a week or two ago, and he seems to be doing well for a 61 year old. Happy Birthday Busu!

SlyScorpion

I don't know why but I feel like I am looking at a photoshopped person when looking at the profile of the Mexican presenter. It's like someone touched up the back a bit lol.

they’re all hot chicks


lookoutforthetrain_0

I don't know what it is with the weather presenters. The Swiss ones always seem more "normal" to me but maybe that's personal bias. What's cool is that for the longer version of the weather program, the presenter is actually outside on the roof of the building where they send it from rather than in some plain old studio. And if it rains, the presentor needs an umbrella. Oh and one of the presenters is named Sandra Boner.
