A BBC weatherman decided to deliver a sickening twist on his usual forecast on Sunday (July 16) with an incredible drag-themed weather report.
The BBC’s Owain Wyn Evans brought a smile to his online followers’ faces as he marked International Drag Day with a special forecast that included references to drag lingo and some of the best queens to grace the RuPaul’s Drag Race stage.
“Now that sunshine Charlie Hides behind all of this cloud for a time, but we’ll be saying ‘Hieeee’ to blue skies as we head into the afternoon”, Owain quipped.
