Guilford High School Graduate Named One of Connecticut's 40 Under 40

It’s no surprise that Ryan Hanrahan, 30, who grew up in Guilford, made Connecticut Magazine’s list of 40 Under 40 list for 2015.

Many of you know Hanrahan, who currently lives in West Hartford, from your television sets, as he delivers the forecast to you for NBC Connecticut.

Connecticut Magazine wrote the following about Hanrahan in their magazine, “Why he’s on the list: Hanrahan has been drawn to the weather since he was a boy growing up in Guilford. Today he educates the masses as the weekday prime-time meteorologist at NBC Connecticut and travels the state visiting schools to inspire a new generation to get excited about science and the weather.”

According to Hanrahan’s personal blog, he is a “self-described weather nut.”

“Weather has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and everything in between fascinates me. I was born in Greenwich but grew up in Branford and eventually Guilford where I attended middle and high school. I’m a proud Guilford High School graduate and absolutely love my home town and where I’m from. Though I currently reside in West Hartford my heart is with the Connecticut shoreline!” Hanrahan wrote on his blog.

He has been with NBC Connecticut since 2005. You can see him weekend nights doing the weather on NBC Connecticut. He also serves as a general assignment reporter and will do features stories for NBC as well.
