New Weather Woman

200motels

Who is the new Weather Woman on RTE? I have to say she's useless.

Sponge Bob

She is noticeably bland but that is understandable when you start off and don't want to get sacked. Is she a Meteorologist from Met Eireann or a hire in ??

Oscar Bravo

Siobhan Ryan.she does alot of work on the radio forecasts on Radio 1.She will improve in time.remember Gerry Murphy when he started!! Shes Met Eireann Spong Bob.

sunbabe08

ahhh give her time lads. she's a newbie. learning the ropes

A bit harsh.. Give the girl a chance. Rem jean byrne when she started..gasping for air the whole time:D

WolfeIRE

yes, remember jean when her saliva build up issues were uncontrollable in the early days. Barely one or two gulps nowadays

speaking of weather readers, i nearly threw the remote at the TV yesterday when the 3e weatherman started his bulletin off with 'Hey Guys'.

Oscar Bravo

"i nearly threw the remote at the TV yesterday when the 3e weatherman started his bulletin off with 'Hey Guys". Agreed.wot a wolly!!

Agent_47

She used the word "however" at least 7 times, ground hog day came back to me and that was weather related too.:D

Pangea

Shes not a natural yet anyways, she is putting too much effort into her expressions and the way she talks overall.

Thats not very encouraging ,I still havent warmed to him!

hinault

Bit harsh.

Naturally she is going to be nervous appearing live on TV.

As she becomes more relaxed, her performance will improve.

pauldry

You are all being very harsh to Siobhan. She is only starting off doing a job I dream about. I admire all of the forecasters, even Gerry, for they convey a message of weatherdom to us all. Only Forecaster I am not greatly fond of is Cowengate "Going forward there are 3 BILLION capital cuts" Hoarse cough with a hint of Carlsberg

god looks like she stright out of stage school or someting with the hand &facial expressions,but good luck to her

Yes, its like as if they just recorded her training roughs and broadcast that.

And its not like its live, someone made a decision that this was good enough, they do several takes, as we all know, no one knows which one or combination will get used.

I'd say it's more a reflection on who passed this for broadcast, the presenter seems more than capable IMO.

Class...:D:D

jambofc

in fairness she has been on a couple of time's this week in the afternoon and she was a lot more relaxed last night than the other couple of times i saw her,same as any new job eager to please and scared sh###ess of making a mess of it,she's a looker and will be fine given a break.

hope she doesn't read this forum her nerves will be shot to bit's ffs......

Jean Byrne was terrible when she began, now she is an icon of weathercasting!

Agreed - I think she'll give Jean a run for her money! A lot more pleasant to look at than Gerry Murphy.

mike65

A few spangly dresses might help!

Aiel

My brother hates Gerry with a passion,its funny:).I dont think he's too bad.As has been said please give her some time lad's,she'll settle in and be grand,i dont think she's all that bad either.A few of the newer BBC weather forecaster's are alot worse.

Speak Now

She's all hands at the moment but IMO she did a very good job for a newbie. Very easy on the eye as well. Time will tell if she's a ramper (Eagle) or a dampner (Murphy).

RTE haven't added her yet.

http://www.rte.ie/weather/presenters/pres_index.html

Anyone know the name of the guy that did the 7.55 broadcast on radio 1 this morning. I'd swear it was Padraig Harrington

MUSEIST

She will get better with time I am sure unless she is gerry murphy part 2 ( i really hate that guy, if he says shhhleeeet one more time I swear i'll ,......):D

But why the foc do they do the weather live anyway. Just record it 20 minutes earlier, nothing wwill have changed and they can cut out the mistakes and be less nervous. It makes 0% sense to have the weather live imo.

Is Gerald Flemming gone? He isnt in that list for the weather team (i also have never seen paul connolly or helen curran before)

Kippure

She will do and is doing a great job. We just have to encourage her to use the words "SNOW" "WINDCHILL" BLIZZARD" AND "MINUS 10".........as often as she can this winter..............:)

When giving the forecast for continental Europe.;)

Sponge Bob

She looks happier on the (short) 6 1 news segment , yesterday she gave us this perfectly all right effort .....jump to 47 mins once it starts. She is not a wet week on d'telly yet.

Expecting instant Jean Byrne levels of Zeitgeist/Outfit <> Forecast => <= Zen is a bit much. :cool:

Oscar Bravo

Dan Corbett over on the BBC is the man!!

I think he became some sort of boss in met eireann. You'd miss his soft tonal style:

not to mention the iconic

Oscar Bravo

As long as we dont see Gerry Murphy or the Eagle doing this one.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWJNTA6wsWc

Gerry is now head of the General Forecasting Division in Met Éireann. Often seen giving insight on the news during spells of extreme weather but doesn't present anymore.

derekon

Good luck to Siobhan in her new role. I have no doubt that over time she will be an excellent presenter of the weather

Derekon

Just have to have a rant here on this weather women topic. Naula Carey, why do you have to stand in front of everything????:mad:????
Seriously, everytime she is on she stands in front of the screen behide her and by the time she moves she onto the next screen you have missed everything, why?
In the world weather reports they all stood in the way of Perth W.A and we couldnt see anything, i grew up in Perth, so for a laugh my girlfriend emailed them and told them the craic. A day later we got a email back saying sorry and lone behold they all moved EXCEPT WHO???
Sorry for this rant, just bugs me when shes on.

He's Siobhan Ryan's boss........

I think she's amazing. So hot and very good already. Wishing her the best in her new role and can't wait to see her again soon.

I don't think she's any good. Very boring speaker - I've no confidence in what she's saying. Very heavily made up too.

You sound like one of those smug, fat cat judges on Dragon's Den!

She is only new to public broadcasting. She is just very nervous which is completely understandable as standing before the nation giving them a forecast is hardly, I imagine, the easiest thing in the world to do. Seriously, would you do any better? As for the make up, can't say I noticed that much, but I have to say she is a tome looking bueor regardless...;)

Redsunset

It's ok Deep ,they obviously haven't anything worth saying here.

5 posts in over 2 years. Back to the dungeons with you.:D

Steady on lads.....kids read these posts :rolleyes:

Don't get me started on Jean. God, what a woman. I'd leave home for her but only if she gets rid of those damn cats

pauldry

Siobhan said the weather after the 6 news today and I thought it was Nuala Carey! She also said there could be "an inch" of rain on Friday and that it would be a "washout":( Shes already better than Gerry Murphy........."we can expect rain and economic depression in the West".

Redsunset

Watched her give that forecast and i have to say i like her.( Presenting )

She has got more confident since she first started and I think she's good.
Best of luck to her. Not an easy job.

eskimocat

I think the new lady will do very nicely. I wish her good luck, rather her than me standing in front of the nation, giving my ha'pence worth on what the weather is going to do!:D

Deep Easterly

It would be hard to downright impossible to imagine John Eagleton or Gerry Murphy trying this style of presenting on the RTE weather:

I started this thread and I have to hold my hands up and say she's not useless but very good and getting better all the time, but where oh where is the Eagle?

inabina

i am afriad the eagle hasnt been seen on TV since Aug 24th.....not good....a real worry....lets hope its just a sabbatical. but he is on the radio so I am not very confident. I think Ms Ryan has taken his place.:(

Min

I think Siobhan is doing a great job and improving all the time, I am sure she was naturally nervous in the beginning.
I like her, it is always a bit different when we get new presenters but she is a Met Eireann employee so she is well qualified for what she presents and it takes time to settle into a new role.
