Anomalous Precipitation
Anomalous precipitation refers to unusual or unexpected patterns of rainfall or snowfall that deviate from the norm for a specific region and time period. This can include excessive rainfall, droughts, or unexpected snow events. Such anomalies can significantly impact ecosystems, agriculture, and water supply.
These irregular weather patterns are often linked to larger climatic phenomena, such as El Niño or La Niña, which can alter atmospheric conditions. Scientists study anomalous precipitation to better understand climate change and improve weather forecasting, helping communities prepare for potential impacts on their environment and infrastructure.
