These are all examples of what we might consider as weather events that occur out of the ordinary or what is regarded as the normal pattern of calm, heat, cold, dry, or wet conditions for one season of the year or another. The point is that if we consider an oscillation of data points in a weather pattern and plot a mean through it, extreme weather can be observed as a perturbation in a distribution of climatic events over time. These events may be short-lived, such as a wind gust occurrence, or of longer duration, such as heavy rain leading to flooding. Importantly, once initiated, a perturbation event has an associated consequence, which usually requires human intervention to rectify the event?s consequences. 606 $aClimatic extremes 606 $aDynamic climatology 606 $aLong-range weather forecasting 610 $aPhysical Sciences 610 $aEngineering and Technology 610 $aClimate Change 610 $aEarth and Planetary Sciences 610 $aAtmospheric Sciences 615 0$aClimatic extremes. 615 0$aDynamic climatology. 615 0$aLong-range weather forecasting. 676 $a304.25 700 $aSallis$b Philip John$4auth$01278318 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910317797103321 996 $aExtreme weather$93013088 997 $aUNINA
