Common occurrences like rain, snow, and wind, as well as extreme events like hurricanes, tornadoes, and heat waves.
Atmospheric phenomena are physical occurrences resulting from the interaction of natural atmospheric parameters such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. They are broadly categorized as follows: atmospheric phenomenon
Visual changes or displays caused by the deflection of light (reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering). Examples include mirages, rainbows, halos, and the sky’s color. Common occurrences like rain, snow, and wind, as
Rare events occurring in the wake of dying thunderstorms where hot, dry air aloft rapidly descends to the surface, causing sudden temperature spikes and evaporating any falling rain. Examples include mirages, rainbows, halos, and the sky’s
Electrical discharges such as lightning, ball lightning, and transient luminous events like "sprites". 2. Emerging and Rare Observations
Visible liquid or solid water particles suspended in or falling through the air, including fogs, blowing snow, and various precipitation types.
Rare, spherical electrical discharges that remain difficult to record or simulate due to their temporary and unpredictable nature. 3. Impact of Climate Change
