Likewise, drought should not be confused with water scarcity, which reflects conditions of long-term imbalances between water availability and demands. Droughts can affect both high and low rainfall areas of Europe and can develop over short periods of weeks and months or much longer periods of several seasons, years and even decades.http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NaturalHazardCategoryValue/extremeTemperature2015-08-18 17:35 PM CEST2015-08-18 17:35 PM CESTextreme temperatureAn abnormal temperature rise or decrease lasting longer than usual temperature rise or drop.Heat waves or cold waves.http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NaturalHazardCategoryValue/tornadosAndHurricanesStrongWinds2015-08-18 17:35 PM CEST2015-08-18 17:35 PM CESTtornados, hurricanes and strong windsViolent (high speed) winds.http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NaturalHazardCategoryValue/lightning2015-08-18 17:35 PM CEST2015-08-18 17:35 PM CESTlightningDischarge of atmospheric electricity.http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NaturalHazardCategoryValue/stormSurge2015-08-18 17:35 PM CEST2015-08-18 17:35 PM CESTstorm surgeWater pushed from the sea onto the land caused by an atmospheric disruption such as a hurricane or a rapid change in atmospheric pressure.Although a storm surge is a kind of flood, it is usually considered as a separated class.
