A guide to managing severe convective storm risks

Severe convective storms are intense atmospheric disturbances that can cause powerful winds, large hail, heavy rainfall and occasionally tornadoes.

They arise from specific atmospheric conditions, including:

• Atmospheric instability: when surface air is warm and the air higher up is significantly colder, it results in rising warm air.
• Latent heat release: as this warm, moist air rises and condenses, it releases heat, driving storm intensity.
• Pressure differences: differences in air pressure, or pressure gradients, can amplify wind strength.
• Low air pressure: allows sufficient warm air to rise into the atmosphere.
• Wind shear: variations in wind speed and direction with altitude can increase a storm’s longevity and potentially lead to the formation of tornadoes.

In a world of evolving climate patterns, understanding and mitigating risks associated with severe convective storms have never been more crucial.
