Today show weatherman Tim Davies has announced his shock departure from the Channel Nine breakfast program after seven years in the role.<\/a><\/p>\n

After more than 900 flights, the 42-year-old’s final weather bulletin is set to air on September 18, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tim admitted the decision was bittersweet but said the time felt right to step away from the relentless travel schedule.<\/p>\n

‘People always tell me I’ve got the best job in TV and they’re not wrong,’ he said.<\/p>\n

‘Working alongside the best broadcasters, travelling to new destinations daily and showcasing incredible Aussies is a privilege.’<\/p>\n

Today show weatherman Tim Davies has announced his shock depature from the Channel Nine breakfast program after seven years in the role<\/p>\n

The presenter added that delivering uplifting stories had been one of the greatest rewards of the role.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Director of Morning Television Steven Burling paid tribute to Tim, praising the impact he had on regional communities throughout Australia.<\/p>\n

‘Tim is a much loved member of the Today hosting family and he leaves enormous shoes to fill,’ Burling said.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n
