Peter Coade

Peter Coade was a super cool meteorologist, which means he was an expert on the weather! He didn't just study it, he told everyone about it on TV and the radio. Imagine telling your whole town if it's going to rain or shine every single day! He was born on September 9, 1942, in Canada. He loved sharing his knowledge about clouds, sunshine, and storms with people.

Peter Coade was so good at talking about the weather that he became a world record holder! The Guinness World Records said he was the best at having the longest career as a weather broadcaster. He did this job for over 50 years! That's longer than you've been alive, and longer than your parents have been alive! He started way back in 1962 and kept going until 2013. Wow!

Peter Coade's job was like being a storyteller for the sky. He would look at all the signs – the clouds, the wind, and the temperature – and tell us what was going to happen next. This helped people plan their days. Should they bring an umbrella to school? Is it a good day for a picnic? Peter Coade helped everyone get ready for whatever the weather brought.

Being a weather presenter is important because weather affects everything we do. Peter Coade's long career meant he was a familiar and trusted voice for many Canadians. He helped people stay safe by warning them about big storms and helped them enjoy sunny days. He was a true champion of sharing weather news for a very, very long time.
