Jay Wynne, former BBC weather presenter, dies aged 56

Former BBC air presenter Jay Wynne died in June at the age of 56 after a long -term illness, confirmed his brother BBC News.

Wynne joined the BBC Weather in October 2000 and was a regular estimator at BBC News.

“Jay had a gift for a gentle clarity, sometimes made predictions for complex air systems.” He said.

“Jay, a sharp skier, golfist and musician, enjoyed traveling to maintain sports interests,” Matthew Wynne said.

“We will miss your wisdom, generosity and a sense of dry humor.”

Wynne’s Interest in Environmental Geography at the University of Aberdeen, how the weather to work, has led to completing a master’s degree in Applied Meteorology at Reading University.

Radio Times told Times that he would often stay until the sun rise after working on a night, and that his weather reports were sure about right.

“It is known that I wandered after night shifts, I expect the sun to emerge.”

“It’s hard to say what kind of cloud it is in the night, satellite paintings, so I would like to see if I’m right. I’m not more often.”

Before deciding his future career in weather conditions, he studied civil engineering at the university and left the course for two years.

Later, he worked as a technician for three years before returning to university to study the environmental geography, and worked as a North Sea in an open sea oil equipment.

As part of his environmental research, he was able to travel extensively by discovering Southeast Asia.

Wynne also worked as an English teacher in Fukuoka, Japan before working for a master’s degree.
