Severe weather affects everyone on our planet. Hurricanes, hailstorms, tornadoes, snowstorms, ice storms, wind storms,
floods, severe cold, heat waves and drought and other severe events occur daily. They impact individuals, economies,
governments, wars - indeed the course of history itself.
On this website you will find links to
current,
forecast, and
archived weather for use at home and in the classroom.
In addition, there are more than sixty online examples demonstrating severe weather phenomena and the
mechanisms for their formation. Links to photo galleries, animations, and demonstration applets on all
topics of introductory meteorology and severe weather can be found in the left menu of each page of this
website.
 This website is presented by the authors of Severe and Hazardous Weather.
Bob Rauber, Donna Charlevoix and John Walsh have taught severe weather
to over 10,000 University of Illinois students since 1984
and have compiled many of the resources and online examples archived here.
