Common occurrences like rain, snow, and wind, as well as extreme events like hurricanes, tornadoes, and heat waves.

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. atmospheric phenomenon

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: scattering). Examples include mirages

Visual changes or displays caused by the deflection of light (reflection, refraction, diffraction, scattering). Examples include mirages, rainbows, halos, and the sky’s color.

Rare, spherical electrical discharges that remain difficult to record or simulate due to their temporary and unpredictable nature. 3. Impact of Climate Change

Recent data identifies rare and newly discovered phenomena that challenge traditional modeling:
