There’s been wildfires, a pandemic, “murder hornets” and now hurricanes and storms.

To be honest, it’s seemed like the planet isn’t best pleased with us (if you believe in that sort of thing). But now a weather forecast from the BBC has shown us that, despite 2020 incurring her wrath, mother nature hasn’t lost her sense of humour.
