Maybe it's because we spend so much time hoping they'll give us some good news, but weather presenters in this part of the world are some of our favourite people.
I mean, they're so cheerful all the time, even when they're telling us it'll be another seven days of rain.
Spare a thought, then, for unfortunate BBC weather presenter Wendy Hurrell, who - how dare she - failed to remain 100% smiles at all times on the air, sparking a bit of a furore for apparently rolling her eyes at the news anchor.
Ah, but here's the thing- she was, apparently, presenting the whole forecast without being able to see the diagrams on her green screen.
The roll of the eyes was because I had to do the whole forecast without being able to see any graphics - it wasn't at @RizLateef! #techfail

Fair enough. But this has got us thinking: what if Martin King isn't really a diehard Bohemians Fan? What if he doesn't care about your birthday?
What if Jean Byrne isn't actually a fashionista at all, but has a stylist?
Our core beliefs are shaken.
