Strong winds caused problems to transport, as well as power supplies, with heavy rain in East Anglia... 2003 Rainfall over south-east England, 20-23 Nov 2003 Cloud-to-ground lightning frequently occurs within the phenomena of thunderstorms and have numerous hazards towards landscapes and populations. One of the more significant hazards lightning can pose is the wildfires they are capable of igniting. [22] Under a regime of low precipitation (LP) thunderstorms, where little precipitation is present, rainfall cannot prevent fires from starting when vegetation is dry as lightning produces a concentrated amount of extreme heat. [23] Wildfires can devastate vegetation and the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Wildfires that occur close to urban environments can inflict damages upon infrastructures, buildings, crops, and provide risks to explosions, should the flames be exposed to gas pipes. Direct damage caused by lightning strikes occurs on occasion. [24] In areas with a high frequency for cloud-to-ground lightning, like Florida, lightning causes several fatalities per year, most commonly to people working outside. [25] Storm Erik was a deep Atlantic low pressure system bringing strong winds to the UK. Much of the country recorded gusts over 50mph (58Kt). 2018 Storm Deirdre
A powerful autumn storm brought damaging winds across much of southern England on 28 October 2013... Hot dry spell July 2013 Storms will usually be named on the basis of the impacts from strong winds, but the impacts of other weather types will also be considered. For example rain, if its impact could lead to flooding as advised by the Environment Agency, SEPA and Natural Resources Wales flood warnings, or snow. Therefore 'stormsystems' could be named on the basis of impacts from the wind but also include the impacts of rain and snow. How is a storm named?From 3 to 23 July 2013 the UK experienced a spell of hot, sunny weather with an area of high pressure established across the UK... Snow and low temperatures late March 2013

Retrieved 2009-02-05. where v is the equivalent wind speed at 10 metres above the sea surface and B is Beaufort scale number. For example, B = 9.5 is related to 24.5m/s which is equal to the lower limit of "10 Beaufort". Using this formula the highest winds in hurricanes would be 23 in the scale. F1 tornadoes on the Fujita scale and T2 TORRO scale also begin roughly at the end of level 12 of the Beaufort scale, but are independent scales– although the TORRO scale wind values are based on the 3/2 power law relating wind velocity to Beaufort force.

The UK experienced a spell of bitterly cold east winds bringing low temperatures and lying snow to many eastern areas.

Storm ChristophThe combined effects can lead to a " snow day" on which gatherings such as school, work, or church are officially canceled. In areas that normally have very little or no snow, a snow day may occur when there is only light accumulation or even the threat of snowfall, since those areas are unprepared to handle any amount of snow. In some areas, such as some states in the United States, schools are given a yearly quota of snow days (or "calamity days"). Once the quota is exceeded, the snow days must be made up. [34] [35] [36] In other states, all snow days must be made up. [37] For example, schools may extend the remaining school days later into the afternoon, shorten spring break, or delay the start of summer vacation.
A storm is any disturbed state of the natural environment or the atmosphere of an astronomical body. [ citation needed] It may be marked by significant disruptions to normal conditions such as strong wind, tornadoes, hail, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation ( snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain ( ice storm), strong winds ( tropical cyclone, windstorm), wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere such as in a dust storm, among other forms of severe weather. A sequence of heavy rainfall events in late December led to further widespread severe flooding across northern parts of the UK...

Retrieved 13 May 2011. a b The names "storm" and "hurricane" on the Beaufort scale refer only to wind strength, and do not necessarily mean that other severe weather (for instance, a thunderstorm or tropical cyclone) is present. To avoid confusion, strong wind warnings will often speak of e.g. "hurricane-force winds". Blizzard– There are varying definitions for blizzards, both over time and by location. In general, a blizzard is accompanied by gale-force winds, heavy snow (accumulating at a rate of at least 5 centimeters (2in) per hour), and very cold conditions (below approximately −10 degrees Celsius or 14F). Lately, the temperature criterion has fallen out of the definition across the United States.
