A far cry from nude ladies or Anime Archivessweaty firemen, Australia's national weathercasters have compiled a calendar we can get behind -- one overflowing with serious storm porn.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has released a series of publicly-submitted, jaw-dropping images of weather patterns from across the vast island continent.
They've taken the shots, along with photographer's accompanying personal stories, and turned them into a 2017 calendar we can all enjoy. Even without even buying it.
