    There was a rare display of the Northern Lights on Wednesday night, thanks to a severe geomagnetic storm. However, it was also a cloudy night and there was only a brief spell when the colours were visible.

We love to feature your photographs showing the beauty of the West Midlands and here are some of the best from the past week.

Upload your images via BBC Weather Watchers or email us at midlandstoday@bbc.co.uk.
