Extreme weather

Weather and Climate is a brand new series that explores what causes our weather - why the world's weather is constantly changing, why different countries have different weather patterns, how meteorologists forecast weather and the effect the weather has on our lives.

Extreme Weather examines the dramatic and destructive effects of storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, droughts and floods. It looks at what lied behind these catastrophic events and how they can be predicted so that their impact is minimized.
