Life's a beach: Carol Kirkwood rocks summer chic in a floral skirt and neon pink top
TODAY Britain's favourite weather presenter stepped out of the studio and enjoyed a day at an urban beach in the middle of central London.
Carol Kirkwood had fun building sandcastles at Westway beach today
The 53-year-old BBC Breakfast star was having a whale of a time at the man-made Westway beach beneath one of the nation's busiest flyovers.
Introducing Carol's segment, co-host Naga Munchetty quipped: "London commuters might not realise it but Carol is underneath some of them."
The gorgeous weather woman was dressed for the occasion in an eye-popping neon pink top with a scooped neckline.
Pairing her electrifying tee with a curve-hugging floral pencil skirt, Carol was giving off summer vibes and brightening up viewers' days.

Wearing her blonde locks in a casually chic up-do, she softened the look with loose strands around her face and a sweeping fringe.
The Scotland-born beauty was even barefoot for the occasion, and she sat down for a chat about the project with Joe Watson, the creative director of the National Trust in the capital.
Carol shared numerous behind-the-scenes snaps from her day out on Twitter, and gushed about how much fun she had.
"I love my job," she said. "That was so much fun. Thank you to everyone who helped us and joined us this morning. Have a fab weekend."

After her weather report, Carol had fun larking around building sandcastles, playing the guitar and challenging other beachgoers to a game of badminton.
The TV presenter's loyal fan base flooded her with compliments after her quirky day out.
"I don't think I've ever seen you tweet so much in one day @carolkirkwood," one said. "You must be having a great morning."
"So pretty in pink today. Have fun with the sandcastles," another said.
Someone added: "You to you were the best on TV this morning. Funny, lovely, great weather presenter."
