Most kids love watching cartoons on TV – but for one little girl her favourite thing was watching the weather report.

On career day at school, when other kids came in doctor’s coats, firefighter outfits or lawyer’s robes, she’d bring a globe and tell everyone she wanted to be a climatologist or meteorologist.
