The World Meteorological Organization announced on 1 October 2026 the winners of its 2027 Calendar Photo Competition, which it described as showcasing photographs of the beauty, power and impact of weather, climate and water from around the world. Entrants were invited to interpret the theme “Your Weather, Your World,” focusing on how weather, climate and water shape lives, landscapes and daily interactions.

According to the organization, the winning images include dust storms sweeping across deserts in Kenya and the United States, lightning over city skylines, ancient baobab trees at sunset in Madagascar, and the effects of extreme heat and weather on lives and livelihoods in Antarctica, Myanmar and Norway. WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo said a powerful photograph brings to life how weather, climate and water shape lives, and thanked contributors to what the organization calls one of its most popular annual traditions.

WMO said the winning entries and honourable mentions would be featured on its social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Threads and YouTube.
