Definition of storms Sample Clauses

Definition of storms. A storm is a meteorological event characterised by strong winds, and often accompanied by heavy precipitation such as heavy rainfall, hail or snow (EEA, 2011). Direct economic damage normally occurs due to wind loading of structures such as buildings, vehicles, boats, scaffolding, cranes and overhead power networks (Xxxxxxx, 2010). Europe experiences its large storms mainly from October to April, and according to annual reports by reinsurance companies their impact in terms of insured losses is second only to the hurricanes which occur in the Caribbean and southern United States (EEA, 2011). Worldwide losses incurred from storms in 2012 amounted to around 63% of total natural catastrophe losses, i.e. around USD 100bn (EUR 77bn) lost worldwide due to storm damage (Munich Re, 2013a).
