London – It went viral in the US when a meteorologist from the American network ABC was delighted with the touchscreen, reminding him more of a caveman than a meteorologist.
Presenting the weather forecast live, Greg Dutra accidentally put his finger on the screen, causing the image to move. And it shook viewers and social networks, making the surprise look like a child discovering something new:
“I can do this? I can’t believe it!” Dutra exclaimed, turning to his colleagues in the studio with him.

like screens touch screen He’s ubiquitous these days, and Dutra isn’t a newcomer, but accustomed to ten years of television experience and advanced weather forecasting techniques, unframed by cameras, host Val Warner asked:
“Are you serious? Did you just learn that?”
At the same time, another presenter, Terrell Brown, goes to Dutra, changes the weather map, and yes, the screen is touch sensitive!

Surprised, Dutra then confirms that he can not only move the map around, but also zoom in by tapping the map with his fingers and pulling them apart.
As he gives a hearty laugh, presenters Warner and Brown can be heard laughing in surprise.
“It’s a great day,” Dutra exclaims, without clarifying whether he’s talking about the Thursday forecast or the discovery of the screen’s powers.
Smiling like a child looking at a new toy, Dutra tries to explain himself:
“I didn’t know, because I’ve never played before!”
But when he touches the map again, his amazement comes back in full:
– “Oh my God, can you bend over? What’s going on here?”
The meteorologist’s clip was viewed almost a million times on Twitter in its first day.
Described as “funny” by users, the clip received close to one million views on Twitter in its first day alone.
After all the backlash, Dutra tweeted with a laughing emoji, “Well, it exploded.”

In response to the clip, meteorologists responded with good humor.
To show that Dutra’s reaction was not so unusual, his colleagues posted messages assuring that their screens were not as powerful as his.
Some even expressed a certain envy:
“I would love to have something like this!”
Two weeks ago, another weather presenter in the US went viral when the studio went black, talking about the risk of power outages due to the heat.
