There are an endless amount of weather tweets that are sent out everyday. Whether it’s a puffy cumulus cloud or a beautiful sunset, there are a million (that might be literal) to go around. Now, some are quality, quality tweets. Others are….well, others are interesting. Either way, there are always great tweets out there. Here are the top 10 that I found from around the Twittersphere.

I’m all about structure, but what really makes this tweet awesome is that the guy was basically like, “OMGSHLUIHFUINEUNYGBSYVU” about it. I mean, its awesome. But not that awesome. It was only 7th in the top 10!

Now THIS is unique. I really don’t know what that is. Likely a shelf cloud. But maybe an alien? Maybe.

This is just so cool. The smoke plumes do act to make for some cool sunsets.

Formaciones de nubes lenticularis en newZealand via @StormHour pic.twitter.com/7XoqeJFtW6

This is a lenticular cloud, and they typically form around mountainous regions around the world. And they are beautiful.
Be sure to tweet @WxOrNotBG or @pierce_larkin with your weather tweets over the next week! You may just see them show up on the post next Sunday.
