Whoahh! Another view of the huge dust devil in the centre of Mancester today 👀

Incredible to see evidence of the concerning collision in the North Sea is visible on the satellite! The high resolution imagery displays the hour following the collision from 09:50am.

Our thoughts to all those involved.

[MetDesk @metdesk]

#StormEowyn is extraordinarily powerful, max gusts so far today up until 4pm

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Brutal cold last night 🥶 Altnaharra in Scotland fell to -18.7C

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Spot the Sun?

Hint: it's already set - this is a sun pillar! #thankyoucirrus

[Michael Dukes @DukesyWeather]

Wow!

[MetDesk @metdesk]

A respite from the rain! Time to take another look at some of the extraordinary rainfall totals this week. Here's what fell in 5 days from Sunday to Thursday #floods

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Just Wow - the rainfall totals for Sunday and Monday were biblical - over 2 month's worth of rain in parts of the S Midlands, smashing records that have stood since the 19th century at some stations.

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Some extraordinary rainfall totals in the last 24 hours with some parts of the South Midlands over 100mm.

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Buckinghamshire's MetDesk HQ taking a battering from the rain - over 70mm since midnight (a month's worth) making it a record wet day here in Wendover with lots of flood issues in the surrounding areas #floods

[MetDesk @metdesk]

You can flip from autumn to summer and back again over just a few miles right now in parts of England and Wales!

Spooky rainbow ⁦@Wimbledon⁩

[Michael Dukes @DukesyWeather]

Utterly awesome noctilucent clouds this evening!

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Burning hot in SE Europe - "flaming" June with two very different meanings from one side of Europe to the other right now!

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Summer frost! Tender plants pretty cross this morning with a touch of ground-frost last night even in the south.

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Ah, those summer nights ... pulling out a wind-chill map in June is just so wrong!

A collection of images taken by our forecasters here at Metdesk! A sensational display!

A rare G4 Geomagnetic storm is providing some spectacular sites across the UK, even here at MetDesk HQ!

[Michael Dukes @DukesyWeather]

Just wow! What a show.

[MetDesk @metdesk]

Wow, some amazing late-season snow coming to the Alps - over half a metre in places tomorrow and plenty more to come later in the week as cold northerly winds set in.
