Stunning finalists’ images for photography competition revealed
The phenomenal images from the finalists of the prestigious Weather Photographer of the Year have been revealed.
Photographers from 119 countries submitted their stunning images which range from dramatic storms, frozen and frosty vistas, spectacular sunsets, impacts of climate change and curious weather phenomena.
The talented professionals and amateur photographers were able to capture spectacular landscapes which are affected differently depending on the weather.
Professor Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) said the competition is an exciting opportunity to explore never before seen moments.
“I am always amazed by something new, something I haven’t seen before, or a new angle that reignites my passion for discussing the weather,” she said.
“As the competition has grown over the past seven years, it has allowed us to create a platform where more stories can be told about the majesty and awe of the world’s weather and witness scenes of the impacts of climate change, which can help to prompt action.”
Members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite photograph with the winners expected to be announced on October 6.
