Welsh weatherman posts video of himself drumming theme tune after presenting forecast

A Welsh weatherman has taken the internet by storm after posting a video of himself drumming the BBC news theme tune.

In the video, Owain Wyn Evans presents the weather before hurrying off to drum the ending theme music.

The video was widely shared and gained more than 1.5 million views in a few hours.

The weatherman, who works for BBC North West, said: “We are all trying to find ways of keeping our spirits up during this difficult time of lockdown, and it is great that this has proved such a hit."

He added: “The tune itself is obviously a bit of a banger anyway, and I knew it would sound brilliant on the drums.”

ITV's own weather presenter, Laura Tobin, was then challenged to match Owain's musical talents with a flute performance Piers Morgan described as "better than nothing."
