Extreme weather refers to significant deviations from the average weather patterns in a given area, resulting in conditions that can have severe impacts on the environment, infrastructure, and human health. This category includes events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, heatwaves, blizzards, heavy rainfall, and droughts.
