Today show weatherman Tim Davies has announced his shock departure from the Channel Nine breakfast program after seven years in the role.
After more than 900 flights, the 42-year-old’s final weather bulletin is set to air on September 18, 2026.
His departure follows seven years of early starts, nationwide travel and countless memorable live broadcasts that made him one of Australian breakfast television’s most recognisable weather presenters.
Tim admitted the decision was bittersweet but said the time felt right to step away from the relentless travel schedule.
‘People always tell me I’ve got the best job in TV and they’re not wrong,’ he said.
‘Working alongside the best broadcasters, travelling to new destinations daily and showcasing incredible Aussies is a privilege.’

The presenter added that delivering uplifting stories had been one of the greatest rewards of the role.
‘Not all journos get to deliver good news, good vibes and a smile with each story, so having achieved all that and so much more, this seems like the right time to step back, enjoy a sleep-in, take a break without a camera crew and prepare for my next adventure.’
Tim, who joined Today in 2019, has become a familiar face to viewers due to his action-packed weather crosses from every corner of Australia.
During his time on the program, he has taken part in a string of heart-racing stunts live on air, including skydiving, bungee jumping, abseiling down towering attractions, racing high-performance vehicles and even getting up close and personal with sharks and crocodiles.
Director of Morning Television Steven Burling paid tribute to Tim, praising the impact he had on regional communities throughout Australia.
‘Tim is a much loved member of the Today hosting family and he leaves enormous shoes to fill,’ Burling said.
‘During his time, he’s given a platform to small towns and communities, showcasing their people and causes to a national audience, and that will leave a lasting impact.’

Burling also revealed the network fully supports Davies’ decision to slow down after years of constant travel.
‘We are fully supportive of Tim laying down some roots after seven years of living out of a suitcase,’ he said.
‘I’d like to thank Tim for all he’s contributed to the show. I know the team and the audience will greatly miss him.’
Nine has confirmed an announcement regarding Davies’ replacement will be made in the coming weeks.
