But hold up because a meteorologist in the UK just took weather reporting to a whole new level of awesome. We are talking full-on Clueless movie level awesome and trust us it is something you have to see to believe. Plus we will give you the real weather scoop too so you are not totally buggin' about what to expect outside today.
"Way Harsh" Frost? U.K. Meteorologist Does Epic Clueless-Themed Weather Report and It's Brilliant
Laura Tobin she is a meteorologist for ITV in Britain and she is clearly a massive Clueless fan. To celebrate the new Clueless musical hitting London's West End she decided to go all out. And we mean ALL OUT. She didn't just mention Clueless she became Cher Horowitz herself. Yellow plaid blazer skirt knee-high socks the whole iconic outfit. She even had a fluffy pink pen just like in the movie. Commitment level 100%.
But the clothes were only the beginning. Laura delivered the entire weather report using classic Clueless slang and lines. She started her segment getting introduced as Cher Horowitz herself. Then she jumped right in saying things like “So I know lots of you were totally bugging since we lost the warmth.” and “Today is sunshine and showers.” She even threw in a “Like whatever” and “I totally told everybody yesterday.” It was like Cher was actually giving us the weather.
She kept the Clueless references coming thick and fast. She called the frost "way harsh" and told viewers to "look stylish anyway". For real weather talk she described the day as “like a full on Monet. It's just like a painting. See from far away it’s OK but from up close ooh it’s just a big old mess.” That's actually a pretty great way to describe mixed weather right?
And of course she had to drop the ultimate Clueless line. When talking about the weekend forecast she asked “So are we gonna be warm this weekend?” and then answered with a perfect “As if.” The whole thing was packed with references funny lines and Laura Tobin totally nailed the Cher vibe. She even admitted Clueless is her "favorite" movie. No wonder she went so all-in.
"Totally Buggin'" or "Fabulous"? Reactions to the Clueless Weather Report are Mixed But Mostly Rad
Predictably Laura's Clueless weather report went totally viral. People online went nuts for it. Social media blew up with comments. But not everyone was completely stoked. Some viewers were a little "bewildered" maybe even "totally buggin'" themselves.
Some folks felt it was maybe "ridiculous" or "inappropriate" for a news program . They argued that a morning show should be "news channel first light entertainment second." A few people were straight up confused asking "Seriously what is all that about?" Fair enough if you are expecting serious news first thing in the morning a Clueless makeover might throw you for a loop.
But the praise definitely outweighed the confusion. Tons of viewers thought Laura's performance was "brilliant" and "adorable". They loved the fun nod to Clueless and her perfect comedic timing. Lines like "Today’s weather is like a Monet... from far away it’s OK but from up close it’s just a big old mess" got a lot of love. People appreciated the creativity and the pure entertainment value.
Whether you thought it was "hilarious" or "fabulous" one thing is undeniable: Laura Tobin's Clueless weather report got everyone's attention. It sparked a real debate about how morning TV balances serious reporting with fun and entertainment. Plus it reminded everyone that even after almost 30 years Clueless fashion and slang are still totally iconic.
