Toddler tantrums please help

First time mum to an almost 18 month old. The toddler tantrums are in full swing and are fierce.
She will scream and cry over any inconvenience and at the moment that feels like all day long.
We get out and about and attend x3 activities weekly plus she has nursery 2 days a week which she’s loving and they don’t seem to have any issues.
What’s the best way to approach this?
I know it’s a natural process to go through but wow it’s tough atm.
Hints, tips all welcome.

distract, ignore, laugh, tickle, read a book, leave the room, pick her up and hold her tight (worked with one of mine) hold her in front of a mirror, good luck OP it does pass, she will grow up all too soon, be 14 and rolling her eyes at everything you say

Mines 21 months now and had a meltdown yesterday as she found an empty smartie tube and I hadn’t shared. She was absolutely furious and screamed for all of 20 seconds until she forgot again. My 9 year old got better with time but now her preteen attitude has started! It’ll get better… then worse 😂
