Storms and seasonal risk

What it means

Storms and seasonal risk remind you that good weather averages do not remove hurricane, wildfire, flood, or heat wave concerns.

How we calculate it

We add public hazard records to the climate picture so seasonal risk is visible alongside average weather.

Sources and freshness

NOAA, FEMA, ThinkHazard, NASA POWER, and public climate records.

Source periods vary by place. City pages show dated source context for the applicable measure when it is available.

Limitations

Historical exposure does not predict a future event or replace property specific flood, wildfire, storm, and insurance research.
