## Summary

A dawn rainbow over Glastonbury Tor was captured by photographer Michelle Cowbourne after torrential rain, with the church tower set against a vivid red and blue sky. The images show the Somerset landmark from outside and from inside St Michael’s Church, as Storm Austen was forecast to bring strong winds to the region.

Cowbourne said the rainbow appeared for only a few moments as the sun rose and clouds arrived from the west, leaving her drenched while she photographed it. Forecast gusts in Somerset were expected to reach 50 to 60mph, with more than 70mph possible in exposed coastal areas; amber and yellow wind warnings covered parts of south-west England, southern England and south Wales, alongside warnings of travel disruption, damage and power cuts.
