Cold Wave

A “Cold Wave” refers to a sudden and often extreme drop in temperature in a specific area, typically lasting for several days. This meteorological phenomenon is characterized by a significant decrease in temperature, usually accompanied by strong winds and, in some cases, precipitation or snowfall. Cold waves can result from a range of atmospheric shifts, including the movement of cold air masses from polar regions. Such events can have significant impacts on agriculture, transportation, and energy consumption, as well as pose health risks due to extreme cold exposure. Cold waves are a part of seasonal weather patterns and can vary in severity and duration.
