Record rainfall and floods hit Paris
A storm unleashes the heaviest July rainfall on record in the French capital.
Each week you send us hundreds of amazing photos. On our TV forecasts we like to use a variety from across the UK, showing all weather conditions, and locations, so we can really tell the weather story.
We also sometimes use more generic background shots on our output and we are keen to get more photos like this.
In terms of content, they can be landscapes, cityscapes, skylines, street views, horizons, skies, vegetation and more.
Here are some top technical tips about what makes a great background weather photo that we can use again and again.
1) The horizon should be half way up the photo.
2) The photo should not have been treated in any way - natural light, no filters or effects.
3) The photo should be a wide shot, and preferably at least 1920 x 1080 pixel - the higher the resolution the better.
4) The locations of the photos should be generic.
5) There should be no large objects in the foreground as they will distort perspective.
6) If you have photographed the same shot at different times of day, in different weather conditions, at different times of year, that would be fantastic for showing contrasts.
7) And of course always remember to stay safe!
