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

 

Wynne joined BBC Weather in October 2000 and was a regular forecaster on BBC News at Ten.

 

"Jay had a gift for gentle clarity, making his forecasts for sometimes complex weather systems feel accessible and engaging," his brother, Matthew, said in a tribute.

 

"A keen skier, golfer and musician, Jay enjoyed travelling to pursue his sporting interests," Matthew Wynne added.

 

"We will miss his wisdom, generosity and dry sense of humour."

 

Liz Howell, former Head of BBC Weather sent condolences to his family and friends, and added: "I am deeply saddened to hear this news.

 

"Jay blazed a trail to bring greater diversity to weather forecasting and was a pleasure to work with. He had his own distinctive style of presenting the weather story which was very popular with audiences."...
