How Does Severe Weather Strikes Again And It’s Getting Worse... Work?

Severe weather is like a kid who doesn't want to go to bed, it keeps coming back again and again, and now it's even more stubborn than before.

Weather is what happens in the sky, rain, wind, lightning, or snow. Severe weather is when those things get really strong, like super loud thunder, huge waves of rain, or really fast winds that knock over trees.

Imagine you have a toy that shakes your room every time you press a button. That’s like severe weather, it's the shaking part. Now, if you press the button more times than usual, and each time it shakes harder and longer, that’s like weather getting worse, it's the shake getting stronger.

Sometimes, the sky gets so excited it makes multiple big shakes in a row. That’s why we say "severe weather strikes again", because it comes back, just like your toy shaking every time you press the button. And now it feels like the sky is pressing that button more often and harder than before, that's why it’s getting worse.
