The one and only Evelyn Cusack!
While we much appreciate all Evelyn has done for weather forecasting, we at DailyEdge.ie are longtime admirers of Jean Byrne and feel her great work in the area must be celebrated.
Here are five reasons why Jean Byrne is the Queen Weather Forecaster of Our Hearts.
The style. Dear god, the style
Stylish weather forecasters were basically unheard of before Jean Byrne. Fact.
After sporting a controversial slashed dress to present the weather in 2011, Jean was called on to explain herself:
I’ve always liked something that has a little bit of an edge, that’s a little bit quirky. For many years on television I wore jackets nearly all the time, but I began to get a little bit bored with that.
She was feeling her look! Can she live?
Poets are inspired by her
There's a poet on #satnightshow now. I'm not making this up. He's reading a poem about Jean Byrne. I am also not making this up.
Jean has no Twitter, and no online presence to speak of, adding to her mystery.
Just when we think we know her, when we are finally confident enough to predict another all black, dominatrix-inspired ensemble, she comes at us in hot pink.
