Do you know the types of storms?

Yes. Storms are classified by their formation, strength, and impact:

• Thunderstorms: Caused by warm, moist air rising, often producing lightning, thunder, rain, and hail.

• Tornadoes: Violent rotating columns of air that touch both cloud base and ground.

• Hurricanes / Typhoons / Cyclones: Large tropical storms with strong winds and heavy rain; names vary by region.

• Blizzards: Severe snowstorms with strong winds and low visibility.

• Dust Storms / Sandstorms: Strong winds lifting dust or sand, common in arid regions.

• Ice Storms: Rain that freezes on contact, creating heavy ice layers.

• Hailstorms: Thunderstorms producing large hailstones.

• Derecho: Long-lived, widespread windstorm linked to thunderstorms.
