James Dale Bacon (born 22 June 1950) is a British television weather forecaster, who appeared on national forecasts (BBC1) in the 1980s, with his distinct East Anglian accent.

Early life

He was born in Suffolk. He went to primary school in Feltwell in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, near the Suffolk boundary in the south-west[1] of Norfolk.

Career

He became a meteorologist in 1968.[2] He started out on RAF stations in East Anglia. He then worked for the Met Office, where he programmed supercomputers. He worked as a forecaster at London Stansted Airport, then did a degree in Meteorology at the University of Reading, a university renowned for its meteorology department. He then worked at the London Weather Centre, becoming a senior forecaster.

Television

Whilst at London, he worked for national television and radio as a forecaster, in the days of magnetic symbols. In 1986 he left national television to join the Anglia TV weather forecasting team, where he worked until 1997.
