If you need me, I'll be in the other place. I got in a while back so I've the blissful simplicity of my own name as my handle. No extra words, numbers, letters or symbols. Ahhh. See you there.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

Really shocking scenes in Spain showing the sheer power of the flood waters and the terrible loss of life 😢

[Dave Throup @DaveThroup]

As the waters recede it’s not hard to see why so many have lost their lives in and around Valencia.

Recovery will take years and cost billions.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

Great to finish off the week by joining @PermSecMOD, Simon Case and Richard Cornish at #CivilServiceLive. Lots of useful discussions around development, innovation and making the most of the incredible organisations in the South West like @metoffice and @UKHO.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

So frustrating not to see the #aurora when my timeline is filled with so many beautiful photos, many tantalisingly close! But no. Nothing here. Boo.

Our great @aidanweather gave some top tips but @abenaopp was a natural 🌟

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

While visiting @metofficeUK Minister Oppong-Asare @abenaopp practiced her weather presenting skills in the studio.

Her visit marks the 10th anniversary of the pioneering Space Weather Operations Centre.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

Kudos and thanks to minister @abenaopp who was up before dawn and trekked across the country in the rain to visit us @metoffice HQ today and see first hand how we're supporting @cabinetofficeuk and the resilience community.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

I love working at the @metoffice, I can see how we make a difference every single day. So it's heartening to see this borne out in the stats too #WhenItMatters #PublicService #Proud

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

I wouldn't usually RT a non-@metoffice forecast but I can happily suport this one from our friends in @FCDOGovUK 🇬🇧🇮🇪☀️

[Paul JohnstonIUA @PJohnstonFCDO]

After tonight at Chequers my forecast would be for sustained improvement in the weather…thanks to @Keir_Starmer and @SimonHarrisTD

What a result - well done @England! And so great to see local boy Ollie Watkins shining on the world stage ⚽🎉🏆

Our @metoffice staff are embedded in the @FCDOGovUK crisis centre supporting officials and the new Foreign Secretary on the response to Hurricane Beryl - strong cross government effort.

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

The UK is helping our friends in the Caribbean as they deal with the devastating effects of Hurricane Beryl by releasing funds to help the region recover.

I have just been speaking with the Cayman Premier and Governor to outline our commitment to the Overseas Territories.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

Sir Patrick Vallance KCB has been appointed Minister of State (Minister for Science) in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk.

[Sarah Johnson @SarahJGov]

Great to see the fascinating weather forecasting story behind D-Day featured on tonight's ITV News at Ten, brought to life by our wonderful Catherine Ross. Stagg's diaries from the time show the weight of the decision on his shoulders - and what a call to make #DDay80

[ITV News @itvnews]

D-Day and the weather forecast that changed the shape of history
