weathergirl

TV climate presenter

A weathergirl is a woman who presents weather forecasts on television or radio.

The term is informal and somewhat dated, as weather presenter or meteorologist are now preferred in professional contexts.

Weathergirl can carry connotations of appearance over expertise, suggesting someone hired more for looks than meteorological knowledge, though many TV weather presenters hold actual degrees in atmospheric science.

The local station just hired a new weathergirl.
