Extreme weather events refer to weather phenomena that are significantly outside of normal weather patterns and can cause substantial damage to property, infrastructure, and human lives. Examples of extreme weather events include hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, heatwaves, droughts, blizzards, and wildfires. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes and impacts of extreme weather events, as well as developing strategies to mitigate their effects and improve preparedness and response. This may involve studying the role of climate change in exacerbating extreme weather events, forecasting and predicting their occurrence, analyzing their social and economic impacts, and developing resilience and adaptation strategies to cope with them. Researchers in this area often use a combination of observational data, modeling techniques, and statistical analysis to study extreme weather events and their effects on society and the environment.
