Heartfelt tributes are pouring in from across the UK and beyond following the sudden and tragic death of renowned meteorologist and television presenter Laura Elizabeth Tobin at the age of 43.
Laura, best known for her long-standing role as the weather presenter on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, passed away unexpectedly, leaving fans, colleagues, and her family in mourning. Details surrounding the cause of her death have not been officially released, but her passing has sent shockwaves through the broadcasting and meteorological communities alike.
A highly respected figure in her field, Laura Tobin was admired not only for her expertise in meteorology but also for her warm personality and tireless dedication to raising awareness about climate change. Her passion for science communication made her a household name, inspiring countless viewers and young scientists throughout her career.
Born on October 10, 1981, Laura graduated from Reading University with a degree in Physics and Meteorology.

In 2021, she published a book titled Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet, which was both a personal and professional mission. Her commitment to sustainability earned her accolades from environmental groups and government agencies alike.
Colleagues from across the media industry have expressed their grief and shared memories of working alongside her. “She was one of the kindest, most driven people I’ve ever known,” said Susanna Reid, co-host of Good Morning Britain. “Laura brought light and laughter to our mornings, and she deeply cared about the world we live in.”
Laura is survived by her husband, Dean Brown, and their young daughter, Charlotte. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time, though they have expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support.
A public memorial is expected to be announced in the coming days. ITV has also confirmed it will air a special tribute in Laura’s honor, celebrating her legacy, achievements, and the many lives she touched.
