-->The radar is picking up a line of thundershowers along a line to a point ten miles north-northeast of Secaucus, New Jersey; along a line and six miles either side of a line to a point five miles south-southwest of Fon-du-Loc. However, the radar is also picking up squadron of Russian [=ICBM=]s, so I wouldnt sweat the thundershowers.

-->Now I guess you're wondering how mud got in the forecast. Well, a dust storm came from the west and a rain storm came from the gulf and BAM! Mud. Should taper off to mud showers tonight. If the temperature gets below freezing, we'll have mud flurries.

You've seen it. [[TruthInTelevision Possibly even in real life]]. There's a man, or a ([[{{Fanservice}} generally attractive]]) woman, standing in front of a [[ChromaKey green screen]], telling you what the weather will be like just before the NewsBroadcast ends. Characters might check one of these before they head out on an excursion or adventure somewhere, or it might be seen in the background.

* The manga ''Otenki Onee-san'' (titled ''Weather Report Girl'' for Western releases) was about Keiko Nakadai, an ambitious femme fatale who gets a job standing in for the normal weather girl Michiko Kawai, and proceeds to raise eyebrows (and her station's ratings) by flashing and flirting with the audience. HilarityEnsues as Michiko starts a prank war with Keiko in order to get her job back. It was popular enough to get an OVA and live-action film version.

* You see (or rather, hear) several of these in ''VideoGame/Persona4'', and it's important to keep track of the weather - when someone is trapped in the TV world, you only have until the next foggy day to save them (otherwise they're killed and you get a NonstandardGameOver). The weather report is always accurate, because if it were inaccurate you'd have no way to know how much time you have left. Its accuracy is lampshaded early on, when Nanako wonders if the weather forecaster actually ''controls'' the weather. In ''Golden'', [[spoiler:in the best ending, Marie (who ''literally'' controls the weather) gets the weather-report job.]]

* In ''VideoGame/SonicMania'', a weather report is actually the boss fight for Studiopolis Act 2. Eggman himself just flies around while a weather report plays on a TV screen in the background. Each weather prediction is the next attack: wind sucks you up into spikes at the top of the screen unless you grab the bars on the left and right side, sun causes hot light to shine down on you, damaging you unless you hide under Eggman (which also forces him low enough that you can attack him).
