Bureau of Meteorology calendar features ‘amazing’ photo of WA thunderstorms

It’s a fact almost universally acknowledged — there’s nothing like a good storm.

And our State is home to some crackers, with dramatic WA thunderstorms featuring in The Bureau of Meteorology’s 2026 Australian Weather Calendar.

Captured by both professionals and hobbyists alike, this year’s calendar showcases photographs of diverse weather from across the country.

One of the standouts, comes from right here in WA, the November photo taken by Michelangelo Svrznjak of a line of thunderstorms in WA captured at a bird’s eye view from an aeroplane, inset.

Bureau of Meteorology National Community Information Manager Andrea Peace said the image “had all the judges immediately hooked”.

“From the moment we saw it, it was a winner,” she said.

“From a meteorologist’s perspective, it is amazing to see the view from above. We can see what is happening from the ground and on the radar, but to have this perspective is something special.”
