Question

A weather phenomenon that results in strong winds

Answer 1

Answer: According to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), severe weather can be categorized into two groups: general severe weather and localised severe weather. Nor'easters, European wind storms, and the phenomena that accompany them form over wide geographic areas. These occurrences are classified as general severe weather. Down bursts and tornadoes are more localised and therefore have a more limited geographic effect. These forms of weather are classified as localised severe weather.[1] The term severe weather is technically not the same phenomenon as extreme weather. Extreme weather describes unusual weather events that are at the extremes of the historical distribution for a given area.
