ITV Good Morning Britain viewers share same frustration over weather coverage

Good Morning Britain viewers have been left disgruntled by the show's weather coverage. The ITV news programme was back on air on Friday (June 17) with Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, who has replaced the show's usual host Ben Shephard.

And with the UK being hit with a heatwave, it is no surprise that the topic dominated the conversation. They reported that parts of England will be hotter than Jamaica and the Maldives today - with temperatures expected to reach 34C.

The show had sent Nick Dixon to Eastbourne, on the south east coast, with him reporting from the beach on what is easily set to be the hottest day of the year.

But the reporter was soon be ridiculed by Adil, who was back in the ITV studio, for the way he ate an ice cream as he tucked into the sweet treat early this morning as he dipped his toes in the cooling sea.

However, those tuning into GMB did spot a problem. When returning from various ad breaks to inform viewers of the latest top news, they noticed how they kept referring to it being 'Sweltering in the South'. And it didn't take long for them to point out that other parts of the country were also experiencing the hot weather.

@GemmaTill tweeted: "Sweltering in the South?? Pretty sure it’s hot in the Midlands too… #GMB." @Rise_and_grind7 said: "It’s not just down south #gmb," alongside a screengrab of their weather app with the forecast for Manchester.

@BrookeJFewins wrote: "#Gmb South South South South . Mehhhhh." Meanwhile, @jimb46 argued: "@GMB No the U.K. isn’t bracing itself for scorching temperatures, try looking at Scotland which I believe is still part of the U.K., or is the U.K. everything south of the border?"

@brianmc6000 argued: "@GMB the UK consists of more than just London and the south of England. The UK, as a whole, is NOT having a heatwave. Typical Londoncentric perspective. Here is the heatwave in Ayrshire," alongside a picture of their rainy view.

If you are interesting in the weather forecast, the Met Office have said London and potentially some spots in East Anglia are most likely to reach the 34C high, making it the hottest day of the year so far. Away from the capital and the South East, 27-30C is expected across most of England and Wales.
