The WeatherGens were a group of twelve fictional human individuals representing the weather's various moods, televised as short segments at the conclusion of ITN news bulletins on ITV to introduce ITV National Weather reports. They were created by the graphic designer Rob Kelly and were commissioned by Tutssels from London on behalf of the British energy company Powergen (now called E.ON UK) and designed by the avant-garde company New RenaisSAnce. The WeatherGens made their television debut on 20 November 1996 and were last shown on-screen on 19 October 2001.
