Lee Brooks


Lee is a member of the afternoon team on The Weather Channel; she joined us in 2007 with a passion for all things meteorological.



Lee loves the energy-charged environment at The Weather Channel which mixes the professionalism of a live news environment, with the lively and enthusiastic discussions of the teams off-air. But above all, she enjoys the ever changing face of weather and how it intimately affects the lives of individuals and communities everyday. It gives Lee great pleasure observing and de-mystifying the power of Mother Nature for our audience.



Lee came to us with a long career in television including acting, writing and presenting. After deciding to focus on broadcast journalism, Lee concluded her studies and began working as a finance news presenter before the lure of the weather became too loud to ignore. Since joining The Weather Channel, she has completed the Meteorological training course at the Bureau of Meteorology in Melbourne.



When she’s not at work at The Weather Channel, Lee can be found at the beach, running or horse-riding to keep fit.

Hannah McEwan

Hannah, who is from coastal Victoria, was pushed into her first wave by her keen surfer Dad when she was just 5 years old. Growing up in the water meant she quickly became fascinated by weather, in particular, the weather that affects the surf.

This fascination grew through school and Hannah was subsequently accepted into The University of Melbourne where she majored in meteorology.

After travelling around the world, following the seasons, surfing and teaching surfing, she settled back in Sydney where she worked as a meteorologist for The Weather Company.

Hannah was able to make a step towards her dream of being a weather presenter when she moved to Queensland to present the weather for Channel 9 across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Most recently, in March 2010, we were lucky enough for Hannah to move down to Sydney so that she could join us as a presenter on The Weather Channel’s weekend team.
