Celebrating 10 years of Cornish Weather Watchers

People in Cornwall have been helping brighten up weather forecasts in the South West with their own photographs for a decade.

Since launching in November 2015, BBC Weather Watchers has given audiences the ability to send in their own pictures from where they live to show what conditions are like.

Over the years, Cornish Weather Watchers have posted photos of storms sending waves crashing into the coast, sunny beaches and snow-covered fields.

Describing some of the images as "standalone works of art", BBC South West senior broadcast meteorologist David Braine said they had proved a vital tool for forecasts.

Braine said: "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.

"What is astonishing is just how good the photography is.

"Many of the photographs are standalone works of art, not just during the day time, but people out at all times of the night."
