Äärmusnähtuste

Äärmusnähtused refers to extreme phenomena, a term used in Estonia to describe unusual or rare natural events. These can encompass a wide range of occurrences, from meteorological anomalies to geological and astronomical events. In meteorology, Äärmusnähtused might include exceptionally heavy rainfall, prolonged droughts, intense heatwaves, severe cold snaps, or unusual cloud formations. These events often deviate significantly from the typical climatic patterns of a region and can have substantial impacts on the environment and human activities.

Geological Äärmusnähtused could involve rare seismic activity, significant landslides, or unusual volcanic phenomena if applicable to the geographical area. Astronomical events like meteor showers, eclipses, or the appearance of comets are also considered Äärmusnähtused when they are particularly striking or rare. The study and documentation of Äärmusnähtused are important for understanding natural variability, assessing risks, and potentially improving forecasting and preparedness for future extreme events. These phenomena, by their very nature, are infrequent and often capture public attention due to their dramatic or unexpected qualities.
