Understanding Storms

Storms are natural atmospheric disturbances characterized by strong winds, rain, thunder, lightning, or snow. They can vary greatly in terms of intensity and duration and have a significant impact on both the environment and human activities.

Storms play a crucial role in Earth's climate system by redistributing heat and moisture across the globe. 🌍
