Evelyn Cusack is best known for presenting the weather forecast on RTÉ. She currently serves on the committees of the RDS Science Group and the Irish Meteorological Society. Cusack was born in Clonaslee, County Laois, the middle child of a family of seven. She attended University College Dublin, earning a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics (1979) and a master's degree in physics (1984). Cusack joined the Irish meteorological service Met Éireann in 1981. She was a weather presenter on RTÉ from 1988 until 2018. In 1999, Cusack and other well-known weather presenters such as Gerald Fleming, who were all professional meteorologists, were temporarily let go from their jobs at RTÉ in favour of younger, less qualified presenters. However, after protest from viewers, Cusack and her colleagues were swiftly re-hired. Cusack received the inaugural UCD Alumni award in science in 2014. In March 2018, she was promoted to Head of Forecasting at Met Éireann, having previously served as Deputy Head of Forecasting. On 1 June 2023, she retired from working at Met Éireann after 42 years.
