If you need me, I'll be in the other place. I got in a while back so I've the blissful simplicity of my own name as my handle. No extra words, numbers, letters or symbols. Ahhh. See you there.

Really shocking scenes in Spain showing the sheer power of the flood waters and the terrible loss of life 😢

As the waters recede it’s not hard to see why so many have lost their lives in and around Valencia. Recovery will take years and cost billions.

Great to finish off the week by joining @PermSecMOD, Simon Case and Richard Cornish at #CivilServiceLive. Lots of useful discussions around development, innovation and making the most of the incredible organisations in the South West like @metoffice and @UKHO.

Great explainer from Alex on thunderstorms below, well worth a watch. We had a great team chat this week about them and all got a bit overexcited 😂 #WeatherGeeks

What makes a thunderstorm? How hot is lightning? And which is louder thunder or a chainsaw? Thunderstorms in the UK can occur at any time of year. But the most severe usually occur in the summer months and particulate after a couple of days of hot, humid and sunny weather.

Great to see the fascinating weather forecasting story behind D-Day featured on tonight's ITV News at Ten, brought to life by our wonderful Catherine Ross. Stagg's diaries from the time show the weight of the decision on his shoulders - and what a call to make #DDay80
