Editor’s note: Watch the first episode of the newly revived Whatever the Weather video podcast above.
Being a meteorologist is a lot more than standing in front of a green screen and reading a temperature map!
In fact, it takes years of education, training and — let’s be honest — a bit of hairspray to be able to bring you your local forecast.
In this episode of Whatever the Weather, meteorologists Kaiti Blake and Sarah Spivey walk through how they became meteorologists, which universities they attended, and a little about their first jobs in the business.
Sarah and Kaiti also explain what a day in their shoes looks like, from getting ready to go on camera, to presenting the weather in a creative way, and whether or not they read the prompter.
