Jon Mitchell also stressing the Met Office link on Calendar tonight and also went through all the different opening screens they will have, their version of the BBC Weather spheres.

Oh and 646 weather forecasts per week?

How have they got to that, it's like a Countdown numbers game, or a question from one of those overnight quiz channels.

Including GMB I think there are 8 national forecasts (5 in GMB, 3 after the news) and 8 regional forecasts a day (3 in GMB, 3 after the news, 2 in discontinued news slots). Is it 15 regions now?

Seems as if the new graphics for ITV Weather tomorrow will be also be on GMB.




I'm assuming ITV are now using the same Weatherscape XT software that the BBC adopted over 10 years ago, and which Laura used before moving the ITV?

Met Office now use a new graphics system called Visual Cortex developed with partners Presentation Cartography.

Hull labelled, I would have preferred Leeds
City of Culture probably has something to do with that.

I don't think any ITV weather is done live with the exception of those done on the plasma in the studio, and I'm not sure they are either.

That picture looks to be from this morning rather than the main programme, as Jon doesn't have a tie on.
