__**IS WEATHER BECOMING MORE EXTREME ?!**__  In the last serveral years, the weather in North America has become more erratic with ; storms, hurricanes, droughts, mudslides and now a devastating flood in the American Midwest. The only problem is, the extreme weather patterns being experienced in north america are real and, according to government climate experts, getting worse. A new report issued by the science program states that extreme weather conditions could have a profound affect on agriculture and human health. There were times when the things happened and American Midwest are submerged, with the worst flooding seen in more than 15 years devastating farmlands and displacing thousands of residents. The new report from CCSP tells that these types of extreme weather conditions are most likely to happen in the decades ahead to come and even intensify and become more frequent. the global warming trend continues and temperture is rising which cause the earths atmosphere to absorb water vapor.

**Droughts :** Higher temperatures cause water to evaporate faster, leading to dried-out soil that increases water shortages and puts crops and livestock at risk.

**Floods :** Higher temperatures mean storms, as well as more rain and less snow which have more chances of flooding.



**Hurricanes :** Hurricanes are large tropical storms with heavy winds. They contain winds in excess of 74 miles per hour (119 km per hour) and large areas of rainfall.
