More About Abbie Dewhurst

By her own admission, Abbie Dewhurst loves being in the spotlight, and as a child she did everything from joining theatre groups to putting on a show for her family at home.

After a year working for Wilkin Chapman LLP as a Trainee Legal Executive, Abbie went back into the world of media and started looking at TV and Radio positions. She initially started as a young reporter for The Grimsby Telegraph, but was soon approached by the production company East Coast Pictures, where she worked as a presenter, researcher, and writer. And she has never looked back.

In 2014 she joined the BBC as a Broadcast Assistant before becoming their Weather Presenter in 2016, a position she kept until 2024.

Abbie has spent many years making regular digital content on climate change, and sustainability, and has been featured in Hello Magazine and on BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat as an expert in her field. She has built up an impressive social media following of over 140,000, with over 1.7 million likes on TikTok – her most popular video has 3.4 million views alone. She also hosts her own YouTube show “Confessions of a Weather Girl” where she provides a behind-the-scenes look at her role in presenting.

She’s been a real trail blazer in combining her BBC presenting job with the ever-changing world of social media, something that came naturally to her being the youngest ever BBC weather presenter at the age of 22.
