What Happened to Gary England? Oklahoma Meteorologist Passes Away
Gary England, the legendary Oklahoma meteorologist and longtime face of KWTV's weather team, has died at the age of 85, with news of his death confirmed on June 10, 2025. Known for revolutionizing severe weather coverage and becoming a trusted voice during Oklahoma's most dangerous storms, England's impact spanned over four decades. Here's what we know so far about Gary England's death. Oklahoma's pioneering meteorologist Gary England died on June 10, 2025, at the age of 85. Amanda Taylor, KWTV co-anchor, announced his death during News 9's 10 p.m. newscast. England retired in 2013 after serving as chief meteorologist at KWTV for 41 years. Born on October 3, 1939, in Seiling, Oklahoma, England developed an early interest in storms and photography. He joined the Navy at the age of 17 and later earned a degree in mathematics and meteorology from the University of Oklahoma in 1965. His broadcast career began in 1971 at KTOK radio, and he joined KWTV the following year. England was the first meteorologist to use commercial Doppler radar to issue public storm warnings, starting in 1981. He helped develop tools like time-of-arrival warnings, corner screen maps, and mobile video transmission. These innovations are now standard in severe weather reporting. During his career, England received multiple Emmys, the Edward R. Murrow Award, and the Silver Circle Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2002, he was inducted into the Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2013. The University of Oklahoma awarded him an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters in 2014. He appeared in the 1996 film Twister and participated in over 60 national and international weather programs. England also served as keynote speaker at the 2006 dedication of the National Weather Center in Norman. Bob Burke, Oklahoma City historian, said, 'He developed the storm tracker system … and charmed two generations of viewers,' (via The Oklahoman). Shannon L. Rich, Oklahoma Hall of Fame CEO, stated, 'His legacy of innovation, dedication to the safety of the general public, and ability to make learning about weather fun will forever be a source of immense pride for our state.'
