Ms Elmont has been taking photos professionally throughout her life, for magazines and estate agents.
“Out of the blue, I had a stroke. I couldn’t get outside much anymore,” Ms Elmont said.
“I was really miserable. I sold off some of my lenses because I thought I’d never use them again, I was really in a dark place.”
One day, she said she decided to take out her phone and capture the weather to upload onto BBC Weather Watchers.
“It gave me a boost and helped me do things again,” Ms Elmont said.
“When you put a photograph on Weather Watchers and you see it was picked, it’s a real boost. Especially when it’s used on TV in the evening, it’s fabulous.”
