Alina on The Cobra

Alina's roller coaster weather

She is normally used to temperatures and rainfall levels rising and falling, but BBC South Today's Alina Jenkins was the one going up and down as she presented the weather forecast live from a moving roller coaster!

BBC South Today's Today's weather presenter does get out of the studio occasionally to present the forecast from sedate locations like Cowes Week or Goodwood.

But on Thursday, she presented the forecast live from onboard a moving roller coaster - thought to be a world first in broadcasting.

She was on 'The Cobra', a new ride at Paultons Park in the New Forest. During the forecast, it reached speeds of 47 km per hour and pulled 3Gs at certain points.

Find out how she got on and what the weather will be like for the weekend:
