    Former BBC weather presenter Jay Wynne has died aged 56 after a period of illness, his family confirmed.

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

    The late TV presenter’s brother Matthew said in a tribute: ‘Jay had a gift for gentle clarity, making his forecasts for sometimes complex weather systems feel accessible and engaging.’

    He continued: ‘A keen skier, golfer and musician, Jay enjoyed travelling to pursue his sporting interests.

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

    Wynne was an avid meteorologist and said he would often stay up until sunrise after a night shift at the Beeb just to make sure his weather reports had been accurate.

    ‘I have been known to drive around after night shifts, waiting for the sun to come up,’ he told the Radio Times in 2011.

    ‘At night, it’s difficult to tell what kind of cloud there is on satellite pictures, so I like to see if I was right. More often than not, I am.’

    The BBC presenter’s interest in weather systems began while he was studying Environmental Geography at the University of Aberdeen.

    After he had completed his undergraduate degree, Wynne went on to complete a master’s degree in Applied Meteorology at the University of Reading.

    Wynne’s family confirmed news of his death to BBC News.
