We had over a hundred weather poem tweets in our competition to win a limited edition Met Office blue sky umbrella on Twitter. We couldn’t retweet them all so here’s some more of our favourites.

The winner:

From @CMDexe Is it wet, is it dry, are there clouds up in the sky? To see what’s ahead we check the past & thus is born the weather forecast.

Highly commended:

From @tobleroni45  Tonight for the first time, just about half past ten, for the first time in history, I’m gonna watch weathermen! #rainraingoaway

From @gaiacaecilia One wonders whether the british weather could ever get any wetter for british weather seems forever wetter than any other weather

From @andrew_spires  Is the rain going to fall? I can’t tell, I’m a novice. So I log onto Twitter and follow @metoffice #weatherpoem

Some more of our favourites:

From @Mookii Blue sky, bright sky, dark clouds too, the MET office provides the forecast for you. You’re a tweet away, for the weather today!

From @realityminus3 The troposphere’s grand incarnation: A cumulonimbus occasion! Tornadoes and lightning with squall lines most frightening; The awesomest manifestation!!

From @chrissieroyal Rain, rain, go away – that was April, this is May! #weatherpoem

From @delphinius2 Alto stratus, you’ve answered our prayers, with medium height and beautiful layers

From @alanhousden If sky is red when you awake/ An umbrella you should take/ If horizon’s red at night/ Chances are it’ll be alright.

From @NickyjaneR Step outdoors, rain pours, thunderclaps, a cold snap, lightning flash, frantic dash, cloudburst, do your worst

From @ptallan10 lazing under a clear blue sky, high above I hear a skylark cry, then I wake up from a dream, no escape from the uk jetstream!
