    Most weather men (or women) stand in front of a "blue screen" so therefore are really looking at nothing. The bluescreen allows for different images to be seen by the television audiance. The weather man (or women) have a small remote button that changes from one image to the next. As mentioned in the other answer, there are television monitor on either side of the set, in clear view of the presenter. It's a bit of an artform making the whole thing look like the image we see, is also the image the weatherman sees. A good example of this is in the first part of the movie "Ground Hog Day"

    • Good explanation, amazing how many people today still don't know about the blue screen and get fascinated at the discovery.
