9 amazing award-winning photos of the weather
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the US runs an annual “Weather in Focus” content that seeks to recognise photographers who’ve captured beautiful images of weather, or the science used to forecast weather, water and climate.
“From rainbows and sunsets to lightning and tornadoes, the winning photos aren’t just captivating to look at, but inspire us to look at the world in different ways,” said Douglas Hilderbrand, contest judge and Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador Lead. “It was difficult to pick winners from so many good entries.”
Here are some of our favourite winning photos from the competition.
