Severe Weather

Severe Weather refers to extreme atmospheric conditions that can pose significant risks to life, property, and the environment. This term encompasses a variety of weather phenomena, including but not limited to thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards, heatwaves, and droughts. Severe weather events are characterized by their intensity and potential for causing damage, disruption, and dangerous situations. These conditions often result in warnings from meteorological services to alert the public and initiate preparedness measures. Severe weather can lead to natural disasters if not adequately managed or anticipated, impacting communities and ecosystems. The classification of weather as “severe” typically involves specific criteria such as wind speeds, precipitation levels, and other meteorological factors that exceed normal thresholds.
