Extreme weather refers to unusual, severe, or unseasonal weather conditions that differ significantly from the norm for a particular region and time period. This includes phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, heavy snowfall, extreme heat waves, and heavy rainfall leading to floods.
