Former BBC Weather presenter Jay Wynne died in June at the age of 56 after a long-term illness, his brother has confirmed to BBC News.

Wynne joined BBC Weather in October 2000 and was a regular forecaster on BBC News at Ten.

“Jay had a gift for gentle clarity, making his forecasts for sometimes complex weather systems feel accessible and engaging,” his brother, Matthew, said in a tribute.

“A keen skier, golfer and musician, Jay enjoyed travelling to pursue his sporting interests,” Matthew Wynne added.

“We will miss his wisdom, generosity and dry sense of humour.”

Liz Howell, former Head of BBC Weather sent condolences to his family and friends, and added: “I am deeply saddened to hear this news.

“Jay blazed a trail to bring greater diversity to weather forecasting and was a pleasure to work with. He had his own distinctive style of presenting the weather story which was very popular with audiences.”

Some of Wynne’s colleagues have also paid tribute, with BBC weather presenter Simon King posting on X: “Such a lovely bloke and brilliant broadcaster. Always a joy to be on shift with him and his wicked sense of humour. Good memories”.

Sarah Keith-Lucas also posted about the “sad news”, writing: “Jay was a huge part of our weather team for so many years and will be hugely missed”.

These sentiments were echoed by another colleague, Matt Taylor, who said the news had “hit us all hard” on the weather team.

“Jay was a great broadcaster, talented musician, enthusiastic golfer, and a good friend,” he added.

Checking for accuracy

Wynne’s interest in how the weather works began while he was studying Environmental Geography at the University of Aberdeen, leading him to complete a master’s degree in Applied Meteorology at the University of Reading.

He told the Radio Times in 2011 that he would often stay up until sunrise after working overnight, to make sure his weather reports were accurate.

“I have been known to drive around after night shifts, waiting for the sun to come up,” he said.

“At night, it’s difficult to tell what kind of cloud there is on satellite pictures, so I like to see if I was right. More often than not, I am.”

Before deciding on his future career in weather, he studied Civil Engineering at university, dropping out two years into the course.

He then worked on a North Sea offshore oil rig for three years as a technician, before going back to university to study Environmental Geography.

As part of his environmental research, he was able to travel widely, exploring South-East Asia.

Wynne also worked as an English teacher in Fukuoka, Japan before studying for his masters degree.

His Met Office training involved a six-month secondment at RAF Northolt and lasted 14 months in total.
