Examples of weather forecast

Weather Report Transcripts


Weather Report 1 (easy)

This is CKNY and I'm Anita Pierce with weather. We couldn't ask for a better day for
the first day of Spring. Right now it's fifteen degrees and clear. We're expecting blue
skies throughout the day. Though there is only a ten percent chance of showers, this
good weather can't last forever. It's raining cats and dogs up north, so we should see rain
by morning. Don't forget your umbrella tomorrow. Now, stay tuned for local news.

Weather Report 2 (medium)

Hi, I'm Jesse Williams. This is your weekend weather report. This morning we're seeing
sun with cloudy periods as well as a few flurries. Right now I am at the top of Mount
Raven where it is plus two and expected to rise to about six degrees by noon. Overnight
temperatures will probably drop to at least minus seven. Tomorrow's forecast calls for
more flurries with a high of zero and a low of minus twelve. With the wind chill factor,
that could put us at a record low of minus twenty. Conditions are perfect for skiing this
weekend, but if you're heading out to the slopes tomorrow, please remember to bundle
up to avoid frostbite. We'll go back to the newsroom now for a look at what's in sports.

Weather Report 3 (difficult)

Good morning, this is Alonzo Jacob with your Monday weather report. The heatwave
that slowed everybody down this weekend is showing no signs of letting up this week.
Our meteorologists suggest that today's temperature could climb to as high as 40
degrees Celsius by the late afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the
temperature here at the airport is already 29 degrees. However, there is relatively no
humidity in the air, so it feels quite comfortable out here at the moment. Unfortunately,
there is also no rain in the forecast for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty
forest fires that are raging across the interior of our province. Looks like setting up a
tent in the backyard may be the only way to catch some sleep tonight if you don't have
airconditioning. That's all for today's weather. Stay tuned for the morning traffic report.
