Hard Weather word search

Sixteen longer weather words — HURRICANE, LIGHTNING, BLIZZARD, MONSOON, OVERCAST, FORECAST — with WINTER, SUMMER and AUTUMN among them, in six directions. It belongs to a weather unit rather than to a rainy afternoon: half of this list is vocabulary a child reads long before seeing the thing itself.

About this puzzle

At the hard level words run in six of the eight directions, backwards and diagonally included, and up to three filler letters in four are drawn from the letters the words themselves use — so there is no unusual letter to anchor on. Every grid was read back after being built to make sure no word appears twice by accident, which on a hard grid is a real risk and not a formality.
