Weather Blether was an occasional supplementary blog for STV's regional weather service, serving Northern and Central Scotland. As opposed to its sister blogs, The Real MacKay and Northern Exposure, the blog consists of online video and written blogs.
The first video blog was produced on Wednesday 5 December 2007 with the first text blog following two days later.
The blog is written, presented and produced by Seán Batty, the station's main weather forecaster, and is produced from STV's headquarters at Pacific Quay in Glasgow. Since 2009, Seán's weather blogs are included in the main STV Weather website, and don't use the "Weather Blether" name.
