Laura Tobin: the meteorologist and broadcaster who won’t stop talking about climate change.
At the start of her career, Laura Tobin was adamant that she would never be a weather presenter. A trained meteorologist, she was sick of being asked “Are you going to be on TV?” as a joke, aware that it was a comment on her gender as much as her job. “They’re suggesting that you’re going to stand there, point at a screen, and not be credible,” she says.
Today, however, Tobin is a regular fixture on television screens across the UK. Since 2012, she has been a meteorologist and weather presenter for the broadcaster ITV. She says she is grateful she took a chance in her career: “You should never say never. It’s good to give something a go.”
