Australian weather forecaster Nate Bryne was forced to stop mid-stream due to a panic attack. The ABC News morning presenter announced he suffered the attack while reading the Queensland weather forecast on Tuesday morning.
“Some of you may know that I have panic attacks from time to time and I'm having one right now. Let's just pause for a moment and think about that,” Blaine said in the viral video shared by the Daily Mail.
Brine's co-host Lisa Miller quickly took over. Miller returned later in the show to apologise to those who were surprised by his sudden departure. “Thank you so much for all your help,” he said.

In 2022, Brin opened up about her first panic attack, calling it “terrifying” and how it changed her perception of mental health: “I later found out what I was experiencing was diagnosable and manageable, but at that moment I thought my career was over,” Stuff quoted Brin as saying.
In April, BBC weather presenter Simon King experienced difficulty breathing while live on air, after which he told viewers it was the result of running up a flight of stairs on his way to the studio.
