Extreme weather events are severe or unusual meteorological phenomena that can have significant impacts on human societies, ecosystems, and economies. These events vary widely in their characteristics, causes, duration, and intensity, but they all represent deviations from normal weather patterns. Understanding the characteristics of different extreme weather events is crucial for preparedness, risk management, and adaptation strategies in the context of climate change. One of the most widely recognized extreme weather events is hurricanes, also known as cyclones or typhoons depending on the region. Hurricanes are intense tropical storms characterized by strong, organized circular wind patterns around a low-pressure center. They usually develop over warm ocean waters and require specific conditions such as high sea surface temperatures, low vertical wind shear, and ample moisture in the atmosphere. The key characteristics of hurricanes include extremely high wind speeds, which can exceed 150 miles per hour in the most intense storms, heavy rainfall leading to flooding, and storm surges that can inundate coastal areas. Hurricanes typically cover a large area, often hundreds of kilometers in diameter, and can last for several days, with their impact extending far inland beyond the immediate coastline. The combination of strong winds, flooding, and coastal surges makes hurricanes particularly destructive. Tornadoes represent another type of extreme weather event, distinguished by their highly localized yet extremely intense nature. Tornadoes are rapidly rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms to the ground and are characterized by their narrow path of destruction, high wind speeds, and short duration. Unlike hurricanes, tornadoes can form over land and are often associated with supercell thunderstorms. Wind speeds in tornadoes can reach over 300 miles per hour in the most severe cases, resulting in severe structural damage and fatalities. The shape of tornadoes can vary from thin rope-like forms to wide wedge shapes, and their paths are typically a few kilometers long and a few hundred meters wide. The rapid onset of tornadoes, combined with their unpredictable movement and extreme winds, makes them particularly dangerous despite their relatively small spatial footprint compared to hurricanes. Heatwaves are a form of extreme
