# extreme weather  

Extreme weather refers to unexpected, severe, or unseasonal weather events that fall outside the range of historical distribution for a specific location. Common types include heat waves, droughts, and tropical cyclones. These phenomena result from natural climate variability and complex global system changes, with climate change potentially increasing their frequency and intensity. Beyond natural hazards, extreme weather causes significant damage to infrastructure, ecosystems, and human health, worsened by factors like poor urban planning.
