    FEATURE - Die Siegerbilder der Wetter-Fotografie der Royal Meteorological Society
    Mandatory Credit: Photo by Andrew McCaren/RMetS/Bav Media/Shutterstock (10751053j)
    The picture shows Dam Wet by Andrew McCaren, 45 and taken in Wet Sleddale Dam, Shap, Cumbria, UK. He said: 'Whilst trying to visualise the heavy rainfall of March 2019 Wet Sleddale came to mind, I have driven past Wet Sleddale dam many times and seen it dry even after prolonged rainfall, but thought I would take a chance. After a 4:30am start and a 2 and a half hour drive from my home in Leeds to Cumbria, I made it to the location an remember shouting yes yes yes as I saw the water pouring down the spillway. The 26 finalists for this year's Weather Photographer of the Year have been announced and the public are being invited to vote for their favourite.The Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS), which celebrates its 170th birthday this year, in association with AccuWeather, has put the shortlisted pictures on their website and people can visit photocrowd.com/wpotyvote to vote until September 2.

    Officials try to repair Oroville Dam spillway
    February 13, 2017 - Oroville, California, United States: Excavators load rocks for helicopters to transport from the Oroville Dam parking lot, to the eroded site at the Oroville Dam auxiliary spillway in California, to help fight further erosion. Oroville is in Butte County. Nearly 200,000 people downriver from Lake Oroville were ordered to evacuate on Feb. 12, after an emergency spillway next to the reservoir's dam appeared in danger of collapse. In Butte County, thousands were evacuated as a damaged spillway on a huge dam threatened to fail. Repairs may need to be made before residents are allowed to go home. Water levels dropped today at Lake Oroville, stopping water from spilling over a massive dam's potentially hazardous emergency spillway after authorities ordered the evacuation from towns lying below the lake. The evacuation was ordered yesterday after authorities warned that failure of the emergency spillway could send a 30-foot wall of water into the communities. (CDWR/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

    February 13, 2017 - Oroville, California, United States: Water is no longer being released down the Lake Oroville emergency spillway, (at right) into the Feather River. In Butte County where thousands of people were evacuated as a damaged spillway on a huge dam threatened to fail, repairs may need to be made before residents are allowed to go home. Water levels dropped today at Lake Oroville, stopping water from spilling over a massive dam's potentially hazardous emergency spillway after authorities ordered the evacuation of nearly 200,000 people from towns lying below the lake.

    February 10, 2017 - Oroville, California USA: The heavy flows from the 3,000-foot main Oroville dam spillway continues to push debris into the turbid Feather River as the concrete span further eroded and the jagged fracture in its midsection sends water flowing over an adjacent hillside. The volume of water is expected to pose no flood threat downstream and should remain within the capacity of the Feather River and other channels to handle. Oroville Dam in Butte County itself remains safe with no imminent threat to the public. (CDWR/POLARIS) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS) *** Local Caption *** 05744104
