People accidentally trigger Siri on their Apple devices all the time, but it usually doesn't chime in with something that's straight up disrespectful to your expertise.
During a broadcast on BBC Thursday, meteorologist Tomasz Schafernaker was presenting the weather and describing snowy conditions in parts of the U.S. Midwest, when Siri on his Apple Watch chimed in to say that there was no snow in the forecast.

Schafernaker laughs and apologizes for the small gaff and tries to move on, but the news anchor at the desk doesn't let him get away with it easily.
"There is snow in your forecast, I thought," the anchor says.
"Yeah but it probably doesn't know what place I'm talking about," Schafernaker replies.
True, but it's still funny that the watch chimed in right then and said the opposite of what Schafernaker was presenting.
Later on Twitter, Schafernaker quote-tweeted the video and said that he never summoned Siri, which is usually done by saying "Hey Siri."

Another weather-related Twitter account, Met4Cast, replied to Schafernaker and noted that he may have the option "Raise to Speak" turned on in his Siri settings. It's possible that the act of raising his arm up to gesticulate or point at the image behind him could have triggered the voice assistant.

Whether he changes his settings or not, Schafernaker probably won't be wearing his Apple Watch during his broadcasts again for a while.
