Default And another three questions - novelty forecasts, famous weatherpresenters, and Singing in the rain

2. My knowledge of television forecasters and presenters is very Britishocentric. There must be equally if not more famous forecasters across the world, or is the adoration of the forecasters a British phenomenon?


========

In the U.S. on-air meteorologists are lauded, or at least well known, within their city or state markets. Some have a national presence, such as James Spann given his severe storm / tornado expertise. But there are also famous / infamous / loved / hated presenters nationally on the national cable news channels - Al Roker probably being the most famous (NBC's Today and Nightly News). These days he also presents shows on e.g. the Food Network. The Weather Channel's meteorologists are also known nationally. James (Jim) Cantore is probably the most prominent example. He gets, shall we say, excited in snow and storms.
