Guillermo Arduino has left the CNN International weather team for a full-time anchor position at sister network CNN en Español.
Arduino has been tapped to anchor Mirador Mundial, a 60 minute weekend news bulletin. He will continue to host CNN en Español's technology news show Clix, and will still be a presence on CNN International as he retains hosting duties of the monthly World View and iReport for CNN.
Arduino, a 12 year veteran at CNN International, was farewelled following his final weather hit on World Report Thursday.
As a result of Guillermo Arduino's departure from the international weather team, Jennifer Delgado moves from overnight weather duties to dayside.
Announcing the move on Twitter earlier this week, Delgado said:

CNN International sport anchor Candy Reid is leaving the network after 11 years.
Reid announced her departure via Twitter on Tuesday, writing (in part), "Breaking News: It's my penultimate 'World Sport' show! I'm leaving after 11 great years at CNN...". She went on to tweet that she is moving into freelance work.
Prior to joining CNN, Reid played on the professional Women's Tennis Tour for two years. From 1994 to 1997, she represented Great Britain in international tennis events and she completed at the Junior Wimbledon championships in 1994 and 1995.
Anchor Anna Coren and meteorologist Guillermo Arduino made note of Reid's departure on World Report, Wednesday.
During her final sign-off, Candy Reid listed some of her personal highlights during her time at CNN, the biggest being the chance to interview Roger Federer on several occasions.
While most football fans have their attentions focused on the field at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, some memorable (or not so memorable - you decide) moments have occurred on CNN International during the network's first couple of days of coverage. Videos below for those who may have missed them.
