Are you weather obsessed? Then you're in the right place!
Please join us and share your weather photos and videos, your weather experiences, your weather questions and mysteries and most of all, your weather obsession.
A few tips to get the most out of your time here:
** Please keep the themes of your photos, videos and other posts to the weather.
** Share photos you've taken yourself.
** If you just can't help sharing someone else's AMAZING weather photo or video, we get it - but please ask them first for permission, credit them and tag them. Or better yet, invite them to join us!
** Please be sure that photos and videos you share from elsewhere are the real deal. There are many tools you can use to verify whether an image is fake or not.
** Your own untouched shots are most appreciated by other members. While a bit of photoshopping is always fun, if you do get creative that way, please let us know in the caption that it's been photoshopped or otherwise edited.
** It's not just about photos! We're here to learn about weather too, so feel free to provide fascinating facts, ask questions and share your weather stories.
** Please avoid posting repetitive photos or comments.
** Please don't advertise your service. You can certainly let others know there is another great weather page or group they can join, but not as an ad or promotion.
** If you see something that you disagree with, it's best to scroll on by - don't engage. If you disagree because the comment or post is false, misleading or unscientific, please use Facebook Report to notify the admins.
** While climate is relevant to Weather Obsessed, we ask that if you wish to engage in debate and conversations specifically about climate change, please join a great climate change Facebook group for that.
** Most importantly, enjoy yourself!
