This Friends-Adoring Weather Reporter Really Took Fan Love to Another Level
Friends may be over, but the fandom is still going strong – sometimes in more mundane ways than you might expect.
Have you ever wanted to make your weather reports stand out? One US meteorologist, Adam Krueger, has found a creative way to make his forecasts fascinating to watch.
He accepts challenges from fans to incorporate references to their favorite shows, movies, and songs into his reports, and he delivers the results on his TikTok account.
Could there be a smarter way to promote his TV channel (see what we did there)?
One fan asked Adam to make a few nods to the hit '90s sitcom Friends, and the end result is literally awesome.
Adam begins his response video with the iconic four claps and shows off the beautifully completed challenge – six whole references throughout the weather report.

First, the reporter talks about "some Arctic air that is going to pivot around it [the area] going south at first, and then it will pivot, and it will pivot off to the east."
This legendary Ross' line fits perfectly with the report, bravo!
Second, Adam goes on to talk about the drastic differences in temperature that cause people in the south to be "wearing T-shirts and shorts" and people in the northern regions to think, "Could I be wearing any more clothes?"
This reference is even smoother than the first one, as it showcases both Joey's mockery of Chandler in the respective scene and Chandler's famous intonation!
Third, the report continues with "the nubbin or two on the radar" (hopefully, not Chandler's). The nod is so subtle that only the truest Friends fans will catch it.
For those of you who aren't, it refers to the episode with Chandler's third nipple and how he keeps calling it "a nubbin." Genius!
Fourth, Adam mentions the changing weather, specifically the possibility of a late freeze season, in the best possible way – he uses the infamous "We were on a break" line (wonder whose side he is on).
Fifth, the reporter seems to be picking up the spring season (which is already here) by saying, "Spring, how you doin'?"
This line is certifiably hilarious and, more importantly, Joey approved!
Last but not least, Adam discusses how rare it is to see 85 degrees in February (very rare, as it turns out) and concludes, "It's not that common, it doesn't happen every year, and it is a big deal."
The grand finale of references might indicate that Adam is Team Rachel after all.
We don't know about you, but we will be watching Adam's weather reports from now on. Who knows what we might hear next?
