Chris St. Clair

Chris St. Clair has been a favourite mainstay of The Weather Network since 1995 and was chosen by Canadians as "Canada's' Most Dependable Weatherman". He is, and has been, the host and co-producer of "The Weather Network This Weekend" and "The GTA This Weekend" since 2000. This broadcast is watched by over 4 million Canadians every weekend, and airs from 6am to 2pm Eastern and at various times across Canada. Prior to this, Chris St.Clair hosted The Daily Morning Report and Good Morning Toronto, both on The Weather Network.

As well, his ongoing feature series "Weatherwise", which explores and explains all manner of weather phenomena, airs daily on The Weather Network, and is widely distributed to schools around the country as a teaching aid.

Chris is also a licensed pilot who flies regularly and is type rated on several aircraft. "Aviation is my hobby and favourite activity outside of my family".

Before joining The Weather Network he worked in various aspects of the broadcast industry including on air, research and management. His first job was at CJCH Radio in Halifax in 1978, and from there he went on to work at broadcast outlets in Sarnia, Kingston and Montreal.

"I am an advocate for a healthier planet and the best way to be a greener citizen is to better understand our planet and how all of its parts are linked. Understanding the weather, the one thing that we all share everyday, is a good way to start. We are all naturally curious and if I can encourage someone to be just a little more interested in our Earth, then I feel I've done my job".

His first book "Canada's Weather" from Firefly Books is a Canadian best seller. The weather and climate of Canada is thoroughly detailed in this full colour, richly pictorial essay.

Chris St. Clair lives in eastern Ontario with his wife and daughter.
