Cornish Weather Watchers Capture Cornwall's Changing Skies for a Decade
17 Nov
Summary
- Cornish residents have been sending their own weather photos to BBC for 10 years
- Photos showcase storms, sunny beaches, and snow-covered fields
- BBC meteorologist calls the photos "standalone works of art"
Over the past decade, the people of Cornwall have been playing a vital role in brightening up weather forecasts for the South West region. Since the launch of BBC Weather Watchers in November 2015, Cornish residents have been sending in their own photographs to showcase the changing weather conditions in their area.
The images shared by these "Weather Watchers" have captured a wide range of weather phenomena, from dramatic storms sending waves crashing into the coast to serene sunny beaches and snow-covered fields. BBC South West senior broadcast meteorologist David Braine has praised the quality of the photographs, describing many of them as "standalone works of art."
Braine explains that these citizen-submitted photos have become an essential tool for the BBC's weather reporting, helping to illustrate the varying conditions across the region. "For me, the photographs and weather reports help me tell the weather story of the day, illustrating a change from one part of our region to the other," he says.
As the BBC Weather Watchers program celebrates its 10th anniversary, the stunning images from Cornwall continue to captivate audiences and enhance the broadcaster's weather coverage.
