The weather can be different in many ways. One day it may be warm and sunny. The next day it may be rainy or windy. Occasionally, there may be thunderstorms.

During a thunderstorm there are often strong winds, heavy rain and lightning. Thunderstorms are an example of extreme weather.
Other extreme weather events include hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and blizzards.

A hurricane is a rotating storm that forms over the ocean and moves onto land. Hurricanes have very strong winds and precipitation.
Hurricanes often include a series of thunderstorms.
The heavy precipitation and large coastal waves can also cause floods.

A tornado is a rotating column of air that occurs on land, often during a thunderstorm. There are very strong winds. Due to the strong upward movement of air during a tornado, there is little or no rain.
However, precipitation can fall in the form of hail stones.

A blizzard, also called a snow storm, is a cold winter storm with heavy snow, sleet and strong winds. Snow may completely cover roads and buildings.

Extreme weather can be dangerous to people and cause damage to property. Engineers and architects often design buildings and structures to protect people against severe weather.

Discuss extreme weather events that occur in your area. What are some ways people reduce the impact of extreme weather?

Changes in the temperature of air, land, and water cause
wind.

The sun’s rays heat up the earth’s surface at different rates.
In this case, the land is warmer than the water. When air is heated up, it rises. This leaves room from the cooler
air above the water to flow in. The flowing air is wind.

Dust Cloud

Dust clouds are common in arid (dry) areas.
Dust clouds form when strong winds blow loose sand and
dirt from a dry surface.

Many dust clouds originate in the Sahara desert.

A Saharan dust cloud began to affect the Caribbean in
June of 2020.

The Rainbow

The rainbow is formed when sunlight shines through the
drops in a rain shower. The light is scattered and separates
into its colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo,
and violet.
