Sure, if you're travelling, or if you have relatives that are experiencing terrible weather and you want to phone them and gloat.

One time I saw a US ad for their local weather and they were bragging how they could tell me the weather "RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW". Well great,thats helpful to me? Cant I look out the window myself?
Anyhow, never mind the weather, whats the point of the news even. Usually they do a terrible job of covering an issue and by the time its on TV, its already old news. Guess they havent heard of this new thing called the internet! The news as a TV program is becoming more and more irrellevent.

When I was visiting my parents in LA one time, I watched the Fox newscast. The weatherman came on, it was forecast 72 for the whole week, so he said "every day's gonna be like yesterday", and then they went back to the anchors.
