Severe Weather

Severe weather refers to dangerous atmospheric conditions that can pose significant risks to life and property. It encompasses a range of phenomena, including but not limited to storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, heavy rainfall, floods, hail, heat waves, and blizzards. Severe weather is characterized by its intensity and the potential to cause serious impacts, such as extreme wind speeds, large amounts of precipitation, or rapid temperature changes. These conditions can lead to property damage, injuries, and loss of life, making understanding and monitoring severe weather essential for public safety and preparedness. Meteorological agencies closely track and forecast severe weather events to issue warnings and guidance to help mitigate risks associated with these hazardous conditions.
