Cascadia Cloudburst

Cascadia Cloudburst refers to a climate phenomenon occurring in the Cascadia region of the Pacific Northwest, characterized by sudden, intense rainfall that can lead to flash floods. This occurs when warm, moist air from the ocean is pushed up by mountains, causing rapid cooling and heavy precipitation. These events can result in significant impacts, including dangerous flooding, landslides, and damage to infrastructure. Awareness of cloudbursts is crucial for emergency preparedness and environmental management, as they can occur with little warning, often during the fall and winter months.
