BBC’s Naga pleads ‘make it stop’ following dismal forecast
Naga Munchetty pleaded with BBC Breakfast’s weather reporter Simon King to “make it stop” during a live report.
Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt had reported throughout the morning on the dreary weather gripping parts of the UK at the moment.
Meteorologist Simon was asked when things might improve as Naga ordered him to “stop” the rain.
“Now, today marks the start of the National Eisteddfod, which celebrates Welsh arts, language and culture,” Naga explained to viewers.
Charlie added: “This is taking place near Pwllheli and features music, visual arts and literature and will mark the BBC’s centenary of broadcasting from the event.”

Charlie pointed out: “And straight away as we look at those pictures there, my sense, Simon, as we talk about the weather today, is that they are in for a little bit of a bleak patch today, it’s not going to be nice, is it?”
“Yeah, it’s not looking so good at the moment on the peninsula near Pwllheli,” Simon confirmed before detailing how Strom Antoni would affect the nation.
He continued: “Not so good for many of us, really.
“You’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s autumn – not August!”

He added: “[It’s the] fourth weekend in a row with an area of low pressure moving in.”
“Make it stop,” Naga cut in jokingly before Simon replied: “I’ll try!”
He continued: “Maybe something next week – a little bit more settled.”
Simon delivered the latest forecast and as he concluded, he stated: “As we start off next week, some showers, pressure building midweek and we’ll see temperatures rising into the late stages of next week – the mid to maybe even high 20s for some of us.”
“Simon, thank you very much, it is getting better a little bit,” Naga responded.
“For a short period of time,” Simon responded as Naga commented: “Today is what most people are concentrating on.”
It comes after last month was reported as the wettest July on record for Northern Ireland and parts of England.
Met Office figures reveal the UK faced an average of 140.1mm of rain during the month, which is the sixth-highest total since records began.
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One.
