'''ITV Weather''' is the national and regional forecast shown on UK terrestrial network [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], and is provided by the [[Met Office]] (except the Channel Islands forecast, which is provided by the Jersey Meteorological Department). Bulletins are usually broadcast after every [[ITV News]] and [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] regional bulletin; since March 2022, however, ITV Weather runs as a segment of the ''[[ITV Evening News]]'', live from the news studio on weekdays. Emma Jesson is the longest serving forecaster after 30 years with ITV Weather.

==National weather==
The national bulletin launched on the ITV network on 13 February 1989, airing after ITN bulletins which compliments the previous regional arrangements whereby the separate ITV regional licence holders were responsible for providing weather forecasts themselves only for their regional franchise areas.<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/tricia-williamson-400230.html Tricia Williamson (obituary)], ''The Independent'', 14 November 2007, accessed 16 February 2020</ref> 

===National weather sponsors===
The national weather for ITV had commercial sponsors from 1989, as listed in the chart below. ITV Weather on ''[[Good Morning Britain (2014 TV programme)|Good Morning Britain]]'' and its predecessor GMTV have always had a different sponsorship deal.
