John’s spent most of his life with his head in the clouds!

Even as a young boy, he’d set his clock by the next TV weather bulletin, with hope of snowy weather to come.

But his interests soon turned to the science behind the weather symbols, and after gaining a Masters Degree in Meteorology at Birmingham University, John began his career at the Met Office in 1990.

He enjoyed a variety of roles within meteorology, before taking to the TV screens in the mid-1990s, first at ITV and then, in 2003, at the BBC Weather Centre.

Since then John's become a familiar face on our screens, including regular contributions to Countryfile, as well as presenting a Horizon investigation into the behaviour of the jet stream.

The next chapter of his varied career began 2018, when John founded Weathertrending Ltd with Sara, before breaking new ground again, with the development of Vacay Weather.

John enjoys running, skiing, golf, tennis and, occasionally, he strums a classical guitar. (But not all at the same time)!
