– And the five-day forecast looks like this.
This is how it has sounded for over 15 years from meteorologist Søren Jacobsen, when he presented the weather forecast to the Danes night after night.
And Jacobsen is an experienced gentleman when it comes to predicting what the weather will be like.
He began his metrological career in the early 1980s with the then Civil Aviation Administration as an aviation meteorologist.
Here he got his baptism of fire in the Faroe Islands.
One day an unknown man came up to Søren Jacobsen in the control tower. He wanted to know if he could come by plane the next day.
– It turned out to be the head of the Civil Aviation Administration, my chief. I was completely green, but had just been sitting with a forecast that pointed to dense fog, so I said it was not safe, Jacobsen told the newspaper Børsen in 2014.
The boss laughed. The next day, a fog closed the airport.
Søren Jacobsen was right.
And right about the weather he has had many times since. However, Søren Jacobsen flatly admits that he has also made a number of mistakes.
After a stopover at DMI, Søren Jacobsen landed on the TV screen at DR in 2000.
Since then, there have been many years of forecasts of both good and bad weather.
However, black clouds drew up for Søren Jacobsen when DR chose to move the weather editors from Copenhagen to Aarhus. A new life with changeable homes.
– I made a battle plan with my wife very early. We agreed to buy a small apartment and try to divide things up that way. My home is still on Zealand.
– It works really well, but I think a lot about whether it will continue to go well, Søren Jacobsen told DR last year.
