On 24 July, a meeting of weather enthusiasts and thunderstorm observers, organized by the Estonian Meteorological Society, took place in Võru. Similar gatherings have already been held for 20 years.
The agenda included both interesting presentations and recognition of long-term voluntary contributors in the weather community. The presentations focused on coping with exceptional weather conditions.
