Paul David Hudson (born 27 February 1971) is an English weather presenter for BBC Yorkshire and BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.

Hudson was born and raised in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

In 2014, Hudson joined the Met Office and spent two years at Leeds Weather Centre, learning geophysics and planetary physics.

Hudson combined this with a two-year stint as a weather presenter for BBC Look North and the BBC local radio stations in Leeds, York, Humberside, and Sheffield. Hudson is well-known for his tongue-in-cheek banter with BBC Look North host Harry Gration and, later, Peter Levy, host of BBC Look North for the East Riding, Lincolnshire, and parts of Nottinghamshire, as shown by the Belmont transmitter.

Early life

Hudson was born in Keighley, West Riding of Yorkshire. His parents bought their first 'kids weather center' when he was seven years old, and by the time of twelve, he was compiling his own meteorological data (now archived by Keighley Library) and reporting for local newspapers Keighley News and Telegraph & Argus. On Oakworth Road in Keighley, he went to the Bront Middle School and Oakbank School.

Hudson obtained a first-class degree in geophysics and planetary physics from the University of Newcastle. Bob Rust, a fellow Yorkshireman, recalled his early memories of local weather forecasting.

At the 1985 Valley parade, Paul Hudson was on hand to save the tragedy.

Hudson completed his studies at the Meteorological Office College in Shinfield, Berkshire, where the former RAF Shinfield base is located. He worked as a geophysicist for an oil company in London due to a lack of available positions within the Met Office.

Personal life

Hudson was married to Nicola Shaw, a fellow BBC presenter, in 2003 and had two children. He loves sea fishing, golfing (he used to play at Riddlesden golf club and now plays at Moor Allerton), cricket (he competed for Ingrow St Johns in the Craven League). He supports Bradford City, who has a twenty-five-year ticket, but was trapped in the 1985 Bradford City stadium firefighter was trapped in the stand that caught fire in the Bradford City stadium fire.

Although most BBC forecasters are not directly employed by the BBC, but by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills' Met Office (formerly the MOD's Met Office), since 2007 Hudson has been a full-time member of BBC staff, not the Meteorological Office, acting as an environmental and climate change expert. Hudson gives talks on the subject to local organisations and schools and has appeared on BBC One's Morning Show.
