The vote starts from August 21 to September 25, hosted by the organisers, the UK's Royal Meteorological Society and Accuweather.
The annual contest provides a platform for the world’s best weather photography.

Most of the entries depict the effects of weather on people’s life, landscape and nature. The winning photos will be printed on the organisers’ calendar.
Huan’s photo depicts Long Coc hill of tea in Tan Son District, Phu Tho Province, which is covered with a light blanket of fog early in the morning when the first sunlight shines on the area, creating impressive light effects.
The contest gathers famed judges including Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society; Gareth Mon Jones, winner of Weather Photographer of the Year 2019; Matt Clark, photo editor of RMetS Weather magazine; Mark Boardman, owner of StormHour Ltd and Jesse Ferrell, social media manager at AccuWeather.
