David Lynch Launches Daily Weather Report on YouTube

digital · 2026-04-27

David Lynch launched a YouTube channel called "David Lynch Theater" on May 11, 2020, amassing nearly 20,000 subscribers in two days. The channel features a single daily 30-second video in which the American filmmaker reports real-time weather conditions from his home in Los Angeles. This is not Lynch's first foray into weather reporting; he produced similar video pills about 15 years ago on his personal website. After a ten-year hiatus, the Lynchian weather report has returned, possibly due to free time during quarantine.
