Janice Dean (born May 9, 1970) is a Canadian-born American weather presenter, television show host, and author based in New York City. She currently appears on Fox News, where she serves as co-host and weather anchor on Fox & Friends.

Dean was born in Toronto, Ontario, grew up in Ottawa, and graduated from Algonquin College with a degree in radio-television broadcasting.^[2] Before starting her career in broadcasting, she worked as a Canadian bylaw enforcement officer.^[3] Later Dean worked at several radio and television stations in Canada and the United States, including CHEZ-FM and WCBS-TV, finally landing a post at Fox News.

In 2009, Dean's application for the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval was granted.^[4] The Seal is not a meteorology diploma, so she is not a meteorologist. Rather, it was launched in 1957 as a way to recognize on-air personalities for their sound delivery of weather information to the general public, and the AMS is no longer accepting applications for the Seal of Approval Program.^[5]

Dean wrote a series of Freddy the Frogcaster children's books.^[6]

Her first book, Mostly Sunny: How I Learned to Keep Smiling Through the Rainiest Days, was released on March 5, 2019.^[7] Her second book, Make Your Own Sunshine: Inspiring Stories of People Who Find Light in Dark Times, was released on March 2, 2021.^{[8][better source needed]}

In 2007 she married Sean Newman of the New York City Fire Department.^[12][13] They have two sons, Matthew and Theodore.^[14]

She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005.^[7]
