Sunrise’s Sam Mac always delivers when it comes to the weather.

But on Thursday, the beloved TV star made a gaffe during his cross from Caloundra, on the Sunshine Coast.

Bubbly and lighthearted Mac accidentally said “dollars” as he shared for the forecast for the nation’s capitals, with him seeing the funny side of the moment.

Narrating the Sunrise clip, Mac said: “Alright, I’ve been in this job for around nine years.

“The job is pretty straight forward. Essentially, you throw to the weather and read it off an iPad.

“Have a listen at what happened today.”

Mac played the clip, as he gave the weather update to viewers.

“In Canberra, morning frost, partly cloudy, a top of $11,” Mac said.

“11 degrees, wow, I’ve lost the plot... That’s going to go down in history, it’s been a long week.”

Ever the perfectionist, Mac was his own harshest critic.

“Dollars! Dollars! $11 dollars” Mac said, with his eyes widening.

“Dollars!” he finished.

Viewers are happy to see Sam back on the show, after he took some leave to spend time with his daughters earlier this month, Margot and Mabel.

Mac shared adorable clips of himself spending time with the girls.

“Today was my last day of dad leave,” he wrote, as his holidays ended.

“I’ll share my thoughts on the experience in the coming days, but in the meantime, enjoy some incredible moments.”

Following his holidays, Mac came back with a beard, which he later shaved on the show.
