She’s no Gerald Fleming.

Watching the weather on telly is usually a pretty dull and overcast experience for everyone here in Ireland because it’s more than likely going to be bad news.

It’s a bit different in Mexico because the weather forecast Televisa Monterrey is the most watched programme on the station.

The main reason is because of their accurate updates and another contributing factor is the weather presenter – Yanet Garcia.

Yanet has become an internet sensation over the last few weeks with thousands of posts about her appearing in media outlets, on social media and Reddit.

She uploads her daily reports on to her own YouTube channel and the hits are off the scales with some of the videos notching up over 600,000 views.

She’s now one of the most recognisable faces in Mexico and people are predicting that she’ll get a big presenting job in America on the back of the publicity.
