Windows Central Photo Contest: Weather

Whether it's a British forest doused in rainfall or a sun-drenched Australian landscape, we want to see your weather-themed snaps for a chance to win a Pickit Premium Subscription and a Lumia Treasure Tag!

The pictures must be taken on a Windows Phone and follow the weather theme. It can be pictures of fluffy clouds, macro shots of rain droplets, or fork lightning! Be as creative as possible and you could find yourself victorious.
