Presenters

Julie Reinger

Whether it’s a blizzard on the A14 or a summer scorcher on the coast, Julie provides live updates to television and radio audiences across the eastern counties.

Known to the Look East viewers as “Jules”, her forecasts are delivered with a blend of authority and her trademark sunny personality.

From live outside broadcasts with elephants, to exploring the region's open gardens, to forecasts on ice, her 10 years as the face of  Look East's weather have certainly been varied.

As well as tracking the latest weather fronts, Julie has made her mark as a current affairs reporter with the BBC’s Inside Out programme.

She also embarked on a historical journey across the East of England for the BBC One programme Seven Man-Made Wonders of the East.

Passion for music

Julie is a natural entertainer and is a regular fixture on the region’s Children In Need nights. She has also enjoyed performing in front of live audiences. She starred as Fairy Kindheart in panto at Sheringham,  made a one-off appearance as Eliza Doolittle at the Felixstowe Spa Pavilion,  and she went down a storm performing Shirley Bassey’s “Hey Big Spender” at Norwich’s Theatre Royal.  

Julie was born in Oxfordshire and studied broadcast journalism at Nottingham Trent University. She joined the BBC in 1992, working in the East Midlands before moving to Look East in 1999 when she succeeded the veteran weather presenter Ivor Moores.

Outside of work, Julie has a passion for music – everything from Maximo Park to the Opera Babes.

Home is a country cottage which she shares with her husband (BBC football commentator Chris Goreham) and their rather over-indulged cat Jasper. Any spare time is spent outdoors, as she loves gardening, although by her own admission she's not particularly green fingered!

Julie appears on Look East at 1.30pm and 6.30pm most weekdays. You can also hear her teatime forecast on the following BBC local radio stations: Radio Northampton, Radio Cambridgeshire, Three Counties Radio, BBC Essex, Radio Norfolk, Radio Suffolk.
