A ‘headless’ presenter has delivered today’s weather forecast while holding his face at waist level in a special spooky Halloween broadcast, reports the Mirror.

The presenter does not appear phased as he speaks with his head detached and no neck in sight during the stunt live on the Met Office website.

Pointing to the themed weather map, he highlights some of the eerie sounding destinations, such as Spookoway, Liverghoul, Hell and Belfangs.

Also on the map are the cities Swanseeerie, Londemon, Newtcastle and Glasgooooooooo.

With ghoulish music in the background, the presenter tells eager trick-or-treaters it could be a soggy night for western Scotland, but otherwise it looks dry.

The colours on the map have been changed to celebrate Halloween as well, with the rain transformed into a blood red colour and the clouds dark purple.

The presenter says: ‘If you’re heading out for Halloween, then the weather’s set fair across England and Wales. Largely clear skies - in Northern Ireland too.

‘Notice, though, some thicker purple cloud across western Scotland.

‘And if we add on the blood rain here we’ll see it could be quite a soggy night across western Scotland in particular.

‘There may be the odd shower across northern England but otherwise, it’s set fair.

‘If you’re out trick or treating, it’ll be dry and fine, and also quite a bit milder than of late.’

Despite the mild weather, it is expected to be the coldest winter in about five years.

Todd Crawford, chief meteorologist at The Weather Company, said: ‘We expect the coldest winter in the UK since 2012-13.

‘We expect extended spells with a ridge of pressure in the North Atlantic, especially in early winter.

‘This forces the jet stream up to the Arctic and back down into Europe, releasing Arctic high pressure from near the Pole directly into northern Europe, with colder-than-normal temperatures.’
