{{Short description|Belgian weatherman}} {{More citations needed|date=February 2022}} '''Armand Pien''' (Gent, 2 January 1920 – Gent, 22 September 2003) was a Belgian weatherman for 37 years. He was popular because his weather predictions were funny and somewhat cryptic. His show, "The Weather", was broadcast twice a week.<ref name="SanFra19851023"/> It was described in 1985 as mixing "scientific reports with off-beat pranks and displays of bizarre fruits and vegetables grown by viewers".<ref name="Detroi19851204"/>

After he retired from national television he had a daily (Monday &ndash; Friday) weather talk on the East Flanders department of Belgium national radio. He did this until the Friday before his death; he died the following Monday.

In 2005 a small museum was opened in Hoeilaart, Belgium, dedicated to him.
