Ingrid Hipkiss is returning to present the weather on Newshub Live at 6pm from January 30, MediaWorks has confirmed.
The presenter and reporter will provide national weather highlights and forecast Monday to Friday, alongside Mike McRoberts, Samantha Hayes and Andrew Gourdie in the Newshub studio.
Hipkiss will also regularly take to the field, reporting on the latest weather-related news from weather bombs, to elusive summer rays, and the season's first snowfall.
"I loved every second of working on the Paul Henry show, but I'm really looking forward to rejoining the Newshub 6pm team as weather presenter," she says.
"Weather is the ultimate 'news you can use' - the impact of this lacklustre summer for many of us, shows just how important the weather is to New Zealanders."
Alex O'Hara will continue as the Newshub Live at 6pm weekend weather presenter, with Mike Puru continuing as a back-up presenter.
