The Met Office’s much-loved show Weather Studio Live is relaunching on YouTube, providing a live and interactive look at the weather and climate stories of the week.
The show will relaunch on 8 November 2024 at 12:15pm and be broadcast live every Friday with analysis, debate and a look at the weekend forecast and beyond, including viewer questions and even expert guests from across the Met Office.
Met Office Senior Presenter Alex Deakin, who will regularly appear on the show with presenter colleagues, said: “I can’t wait to re-launch Weather Studio Live and provide a more interactive and free-flowing format to our audience.
“The show was very popular when we last broadcast in 2020 and we’re now able to bring it back with a few more bells and whistles, including an in-depth look at the weekend’s weather, taking live questions from viewers and my own favourite section, which is a weekly weather-themed quiz.”
Weather Studio Live joins the wealth of content available on the Met Office YouTube channel. Nearly 300,000 subscribers receive updates ranging from daily two-minute weather bulletins, to in-depth analysis of meteorological events in Deep Dive and an extended range outlook in 10-Day-Trend. These pre-recorded videos are also available through the Met Office’s app, via the video tab.
Met Office Creative Lead Ross Middleham said: “We’ve seen continued growth on our social media channels in recent years and YouTube has been a key pillar of our ongoing mission to reach as many people as possible with the latest information on weather and climate. We will continue to evolve how we deliver our content to ensure that as many people as possible can access the weather information they need in the way they want.
“Weather Studio Live will see the return of a popular format and provide our community with an interactive and often more informal way of getting the latest forecast information. We know how popular live content can be on YouTube and look forward to evolving the show in the coming weeks and months.”
