Longtime L.A. Weatherman Dr. George Fishbeck Dies

Longtime Los Angeles KABC weatherman, Dr. George Fischbeck, has died. He was 92 years old.

Fishbeck provided entertaining weather reports for the Los Angeles basin for over 20 years during the ’70s and ’80s.

“For many Angelenos, Dr. George was more than just the weatherman. … When he was giving us his forecast for the highs and lows of the next day, he’d also remind us to be good citizens and take care of each other,” the station wrote. “Fishbeck brought us the forecast for nearly 20 years in the ’70s and ’80s before retiring from KABC,” the station stated. h/t ktla

In 2013, Fishbeck released the book “Dr. George: My Life in Weather.” That same year, the Los Angeles City Council declared April 10 Dr. George Day.
