[2] He joined the Met Office in 1941 and worked all over the UK (as well as a stint in Hong Kong between 1953 and 1956) before being seconded to the BBC in 1962.
He worked with a number of different co-presenters including Cliff Michelmore, Barry Westwood and Fred Dinenage and his role gradually expanded (reading out congratulatory messages, writing a book[3]) until eventually he was given his own show The Trevor Baker All Weather Show.
[2][4] Baker remained in his position when the franchise changed to TVS (Television South) in 1982 and continued on until 1987.
In all he was on-air for 25 years —at the time Britain's longest-serving TV weather forecaster.
