After his initial training with the Royal Navy, Avery spent time at a naval air station before joining a helicopter squadron embarked in HMS Ark Royal.[1] Over the following two years he forecasted across the world, after which he joined a Search and Rescue squadron, based at Prestwick in Scotland. Within four years, he completed his time in the Navy and achieved an MBA.[1]
He took time out from presenting between September 2004 and July 2005 to take part in the Global Challenge 2004-2005 yacht race.[1][2]
In October 2010 it was announced that Avery would no longer be presenting BBC weather forecasts.[3] Despite this, he returned to broadcasting on the BBC a few years later. Avery has since presented weather for BBC's Gardeners' World[4] and is now a regular presenter on BBC One.[1][5]
