Weather and climate disasters refer to those caused by typhoons, heavy rain, snow, thunderstorms, hail, strong winds, dust, tornadoes, heavy fog, high temperatures, low temperatures, continuous rain, freezing rain, frost, ice, cold waves, droughts, heat waves, floods, and accumulated waterlogging. disasters directly caused by factors such as

Meteorological secondary and derivative disasters refer to disasters such as landslides, mudslides, storm surges, forest fires, acid rain, and air pollution caused by meteorological factors.

There are more than 20 kinds of meteorological disasters, mainly including the following types.
