Met Éireann's Evelyn Cusack is retiring today after 42 years of forecasting - and one of her special memories is her guest appearance on 2015's Late Late Toy Show.

Toy Show fans will recall Johnny O'Loughlin as the eight-year-old from Ennis, Co Clare who was mad about the weather - even making his own board game about it.

Johnny's priceless reaction when his favourite forecaster surprised him live on air was one of the highlights of 2015's Toy Show.

A great double act - Evelyn Cusack and Johnny O'Loughlin on 2015's Toy Show

Indeed, Johnny and Evelyn hit it off so well as co-stars that RTÉ asked him back to deliver a report on Santa’s mammoth journey that Christmas.

He popped into the RTÉ weather centre after the Toy Show - and Evelyn was on hand to give him some guidance as he made his forecasting debut.

As she retires, Evelyn has told RTÉ News that she is looking forward to putting on her hiking boots and spending time with the Roving Soles Hillwalking group.

"I'm really grateful to have been working this long and to feel so well and healthy," she said.

Here's to many years of sunshine ahead.
