Over the course of the year, the Lismore App has been sent some stunning sunset and thunderstorm photos.
The Bureau of Meteorology has just released their Australian Weather Calendar 2022 and as you can imagine it is quite spectacular.
We thought you would like to see what incredible images are captured from around our great country during many different weather patterns.
