Évelyne Dhéliat has been presenting the weather on TF1 for over thirty years. The 76-year-old presenter is now part of the lives of all French people. A daily presence on the air and a proximity to the public which does not spare him criticism from viewers. She explained that she regularly received letters of criticism regarding the outfits she wears on air.

They remain in the TF1 closetadding that this still represents “two cupboards”.

Évelyne Dhéliat responds to criticism
While global warming is a subject of concern for more and more people, and its consequences are visible in the four corners of the planet, the weather broadcast is literally the thermometer of this phenomenon. Évelyne Dhéliat regularly uses her program to raise public awareness. But some viewers accused her of being hypocritical, accusing her of wearing outfits that were too short and sleeveless and therefore turn on the heating “thoroughly” in the studios.
The presenter therefore responded directly to her detractors. ” Fake ! The studio we are in has exactly the same temperature in summer and winter. And then the temperature is not very high, especially considering the technique, it should not be too hot”. Always full of empathy and gentleness, Évelyne Dhéliat then explained that she understood the criticism. “When you talk about global warming and people see you like that, it’s always a little tricky. It’s not shocking in summer, but it can be shocking in winter”, she confided to Éric Dussart. We can hope that with these clear and frank answers, the criticism towards the oldest Miss Weather will stop.
