Okay ...now my life is made! Sir David Attenborough just got up and applauded me at the end of my forecast 😲
Welcome to the meteorological start to autumn 🍂 …and the start of the 2026/27 storm season.
Here are this year’s list of storm names. Is yours on it?…
@BBCBreakfast
One …last …time!
Join @carolkirkwood for her very last @BBCBreakfast shift on Wednesday from 6am 😭 😭 😭

The moment @carolkirkwood was surprised by her retired crew @PaulMMCooper of over 20 years @RHSWisley. It may be her last week, but the memories and friendships will last forever ❤️ @BBCBreakfast
Staying rather cool and changeable this weekend 🌦️
Much windier on Sunday
@BBCBreakfast
Ready for sunsets around 8pm next week?
Clocks spring FORWARD on Saturday night ⏰ 🌷 #BritishSummerTime #BST @BBCBreakfast
Howay man! 😆
Shocked to turn @BBCBreakfast on this morning. Ant and Dec look different.. @mikebreakfast @MetMattTaylor 🤣
Good morning 👋🏻
Pleasant day where the sun comes out today, but a weak weather front with cloud and increasingly patchy rain edging eastwards …slowly.
@BBCBreakfast
Flying to/from north-east USA 🇺🇸 in the next few days?
Check with your airline for disruption!
⚠️ Major winter storm set to affect tens of millions, including those in New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
@BBCBreakfast
Spring taster this week 🌺
…temperatures could hit 17/18C for some.

@BBCBreakfast
Milder weather for the last week of (meteorological) winter
The forecast of further rain at times might be familiar, but a change in weather patterns will bring a number of noticeable differences to our recent weather
@BBCBreakfast
Widespread frost and ice tonight
Would you know what to do if your car was to spin on ice though? 🧊
Join me @BBCBreakfast in the morning for some driving tips 🚗
Morning!
Colder air moving southwards through today, with a risk of ice across the northern half of the UK and snow for some in Scotland and hills of N England
⚠️Warnings: bbc.co.uk/weather/warnings/w…
Lots of ☀️ on Saturday 😃
Full forecast @BBCBreakfast
It’s over!
After a record 21 days of gloom, Aberdeen has finally seen the sunshine this afternoon
…for all of 30mins in total!
Much more ☀️ to come tomorrow and Saturday though 😃
Howdo 👋🏻
At last! … a change in weather patterns on the way.
Colder air will briefly bring widely sunny skies on Saturday ☀️ but snow and ice will feature at times too.
Stay across the forecast with us on @BBCBreakfast
It may have rained every day since the end of 2025 for some, BUT the rain hasn’t been relentless everywhere.
This👇🏻is genuinely from a BBC WeatherWatcher today! 😮 🥰
Serious winter conditions continue on Helvellyn. Not a climb for the inexperienced
Brilliant but serious conditions on #Helvellyn Great traction in #crampons but potential for long & violent slides with runouts into boulders if any slip is not quickly arrested with an #iceaxe
Mountaineering skills, experience & equipment currently required above 700m
Zac
If it hasn’t been the relentless rain it’s been the lack of sunshine too.
Any improvements one the way …at all???
I’ll have the @BBCBreakfast forecast from 6am
