Meet Chelsea Carey — 9 News Adelaide’s weather presenter.

She delivers our forecast with a dazzling smile and effervescent personality, while also juggling life as a busy mum, wife and coffee enthusiast (in no particular order).

We’ve gone behind the scenes to get to know Chelsea beyond the telly!

What does a day in the life of Chelsea Carey look like?

My daughter’s an early riser, so it’s not unusual for us to be playing with Play- Doh and wearing superhero costumes by 7am! When everyone’s ready for the day, I head to work.

Once in the newsroom, I search for local community events to do a weather cross, then call the Bureau of Meteorology and chat with a forecaster. I write my scripts, pop into hair and makeup and then travel to the location of my live crosses.

We all know how important coffee is to a busy mum. Where are your top spots to get caffeinated?

Coffee is life! Seed & Stone on Pirie Street is my first stop before work. Otherwise, Local Crowd at Colonel Light Gardens is always a fave.

Where’s your favourite date night spot with hubby?

Date nights are rare with a toddler, but we’ll head to a winery on a special occasion. Main & Cherry at Chandlers Hill is one of our favourites. The view is spectacular and their wines are divine!

Where’s your favourite holiday destination in SA?

I love the Fleurieu Peninsula, especially Second Valley, where I spent most of my childhood weekends. There are some great places to eat, walk and explore in that region. Forktree Brewing is a fantastic spot for lunch!

Is there anything on your SA bucket list that you haven’t done yet?

I’ve been lucky to visit so many incredible places around SA for work, but I haven’t spent much time on the Yorke Peninsula. I’d love to explore Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park because, from what I’ve heard, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks for spilling the beans and allowing us to get to know you, Chelsea. We hope the spilt beans weren’t coffee!
