Anomalous Weather Events

Anomalous weather events are unusual or unexpected weather patterns that deviate significantly from the norm. These may include extreme heatwaves, heavy rain and flooding, unexpected snow in warm areas, or prolonged droughts. Such events can occur due to shifts in atmospheric conditions, climate change, or natural variability. They often have significant impacts on ecosystems, human health, agriculture, and economies. Understanding these anomalies is crucial for preparedness and mitigation efforts, as they challenge our existing weather models and can signal broader changes in the climate system.
