Elizabeth Rizzini

Elizabeth Rizzini is a Met Office-trained BBC weather presenter and broadcaster, appearing across the BBC’s regional, national and international output. Her television work has included BBC Breakfast, the BBC News at One, Six and Ten and BBC World, while on radio she has presented forecasts for BBC Radio 4 and Radio 5 Live.

Alongside broadcasting, Elizabeth is an experienced live presenter and conference moderator. She has hosted award ceremonies for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and other events, and has served as a judge for charity competitions, including Cats Protection’s National Cat Awards.

Weather, climate and environmental issues are natural subjects for her speaking work. Alongside her meteorological training, Elizabeth has a Master’s degree in which she focused on environmental journalism and climate change. She brings that combination of scientific knowledge and broadcast experience to discussions of weather, climate and the communication of complex subjects.

Her broadcasting has frequently taken her beyond the conventional weather forecast. With a particular interest in astronomy and space weather, Elizabeth has produced and presented specialist stargazing forecasts for BBC Weather and The Sky at Night. A forecast she made around a Mars rover mission was featured on Channel 4’s Gogglebox. She has also produced and presented features for Newsround and Antiques Roadshow, and has presented weather forecasts from Wimbledon.

Elizabeth has lived and studied in France and Spain and spent several years in Madrid. Her first experience of broadcast meteorology involved compiling and presenting a bilingual jellyfish forecast for Spanish coastal resorts, before she went on to undertake professional meteorological training with the Met Office. She is fluent conversationally in Spanish and Italian, has worked in Spanish-speaking business environments, and also speaks French.

Away from broadcasting, Elizabeth has been involved with a number of charitable causes. In 2025, she won BBC One’s Celebrity Mastermind, choosing Céline Dion as her specialist subject and raising money for Hospice in the Weald. She also ran the London Marathon in 2016 in support of Save the Children and Médecins Sans Frontières, and has worked with Cats Protection, including as a celebrity judge for its National Cat Awards.

With extensive experience of live broadcasting, Elizabeth is available for awards hosting, conference moderating and speaking engagements on weather, climate and the environment.
