Roberto Brasero (Talavera de la Reina, just turned 53) enters the central makeup room of the Atresmedia headquarters. At that time, like almost any other, there is bustle, people crossing from one place to another in search of the facial and hair miracle of the day, knowing that you never leave there worse than when you arrived.
Brasero is one of those who makes himself noticed upon arrival, says an energetic good morning, greets the staff, makes a joke and there is always someone who receives and responds. He is one of those people who seems like he has never slept a few hours, one of those who seems like life smiles at him 24/7. Brasero is one of those that terrify those who need two hours from the moment they wake up to empathize with humanity. “Good morning!” He says in a very loud and hypervitamined voice every time he enters that room, and one senses that in the rest of the rooms in which he entered, he enters and will enter throughout his life. life.

The Antena 3 weather man is used to always being asked what the weather is going to be like on the day of the child's communion, on the Saturday chosen to get dyed, reserve the campsite or the next long weekend, but he doesn't seem to be fed up. He is friendly, talkative, and has his own style when explaining things about the weather. Long before someone makes a joke, he is ready to make it. This is how he started his speech at the Comedy Club a few years ago: “Good evening, you can't imagine how difficult it is to be Roberto Brasero, weatherman. Let them announce you in the middle of August saying: “And now the weather with Brasero.” With two balls, take climate change!” The theater audience was already laughing after the first sentence.
The man from Talavera began his professional career as an intern in the same company he now works for, went to Telemadrid and returned to Antena 3 to become one of the stars of TV. He is a guy who raps to explain Filomena to you — “what if I give the forecast in rap?” He has fun with Trancas y Barrancas, when Carlos Latre appears on stage dressed like him, who gets serious when he plays but always, or almost always, exudes folksiness.
“It's just like you see it on TV. He talks non-stop, with everyone. He's so fun... and super dedicated," says a colleague who treats him inside and outside the San Sebastián de los Reyes facilities, where Atresmedia's headquarters are located.
He has won the Antena de Oro, the AEMET special award and is the favorite son of Castilla La Mancha. “You propose a vacation to the Caribbean and I tell you: but I have been happy in Tomelloso!” He told Mara Torres that time she played Gatopardo in the program

The head of Meteorology at A3 Noticias was born in a Civil Guard barracks due to his father's profession, a time in his life that he remembers fondly. So much so that he couldn't help but let his guard down and showed the seams in the surprise that Susanna Griso gave him in the
public mirror
on March 19, when he had to remember himself, the youngest of four brothers, and his father, who died a year ago. 91 years old in November 2021. “I had a happy childhood and a great father. I remember him every day, he was a fantastic father and a great grandfather. “Lucky,” he told the presenter.
Brasero loves
Los lobos negra
, a musical group from his native Talavera, he lived in a student residence on Príncipe de Vergara street in Madrid and before he explained to us what the hell the word cyclogenesis and the cold drop mean, he worked as a census agent . “Good weather is the weather that he has in his time,” he repeats whenever he can.
But not everyone sees him as “the nicest man of all the awards”, the one with “the accurate forecasts” and the “dazzling personality”. Or yes, but also some of its edges. “He is absolutely unpredictable, and although he insists on showing the image of an ideal man, that is not the case. He has a bad mood, without you realizing it or without anything specific happening, he shows bad behavior and shouts at people, because it depends on the time you catch him,” says a person who has worked at Atresmedia for years.

Others talk about his dispersion working, that he alternates joking with generosity, that the failure of his program
Mundo Brasero
—the network withdrew it without prior notice after low ratings—has hurt him more than it shows, that He is always the one who closes the gatherings organized by the group he works for. “He is a reference for all of us, he always lasts longer than the rest,” jokes another of his colleagues.
That dedication that also translates into fervor towards his work. “He never says no to anything, he is everywhere. I don't know if he has it under contract or it's just that way, but there is nothing that the house organizes in which he doesn't participate, and I value that a lot. He's a star, let's not forget, and others don't do that," says another of the stars of the group who prefers not to say his name, one of those who prefer to go home early. Just when Brasero's good time begins. The one who never seems to run out of money.
