The Italian region that holds the world record for daily snowfall, the place in Death Valley where the highest temperature in the world has been recorded, cloud seeding in Canada to reduce hailstorms, sand avalanches in Sudan, the Venezuelan lake where lightning strikes at least 250 nights a year, the Chilean city where it never rains and the one where it rains 325 days a yearà
The most extreme climatic phenomena occur from one end of the planet to the other. From hurricanes to sandstorms, from thunderstorms to spectacular snowfalls and rains, this atlas explores both atmospheric curiosities and the resilience of the people who suffer from them.
