I hope you didn’t get Courtney Act in any downpours.
We’ve all quoted RuPaul or some of the queens from Drag Race at some point. The show offers so many great one-liners (BACKROLLS?!) and catch phrases it really is impossible if you have watched not to reference it from time to time.
BBC weather man Owain Wyn Evans took the game to a whole new level when he decided to pay homage to International Drag Day with a drag reference-filled weather forecast.
In the hilarious 90 seconds clip he manages to squeeze in so many references it’s almost impossible to count them all.
The Welsh presenter, who describes himself as “unapologetic flamboyant”, starts off with “The time has come for me to forecast for my life” and continues with “I’m gonna spill the tea and tell you that some of these clouds today are going to be throwing some serious shade” (how perfect is that?!).
From there on it’s one hilarious reference after another.
Watch the clip below.

Many queens, as well as the official Drag Race account, have also tweeted their amused reactions.
