What is bomb cyclone?
A bomb cyclone, or bombogenesis, is a rapidly moving severe storm. Such a storm occurs when the air pressure increases to 20 millibars or more within 24 hours. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it usually occurs when a mass of warm air collides with a cold one. This time the air from the Arctic moved to the tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico, forming a depression that brings rain and snow.

history of the word
According to CNN, the term was first used in a meteorological research paper during the 1980s. Its authors were MIT meteorologists Fred Sanders and John Gycum, Swedish meteorologist Tor Bergeron. He was the first to define “rapid deepening” storms as those that met the 24 mbar criteria in 24 hours.

What is special about this storm?
According to Weather’enco meteorologist Yann Amis, this storm is extraordinary. In this, the norm of 40 millibars is being fulfilled in 24 hours. Cyril Duchesne, a meteorologist with the French Weather Channel, said, “This has led to the development of extreme storm conditions near the core of the low pressure system. The unprecedented nature of this storm comes from the intensity and extremes of its low temperatures. This is what makes it extraordinary.

The effect of a storm can also be fatal
The US National Weather Service said that the cold is already breaking records. Temperatures are falling to minus 53 degrees Celsius (minus 63 Fahrenheit) in western Canada, minus 38 in Minnesota, and minus 13 in Dallas. Snow is also falling in subtropical North Florida. The US National Weather Service warns that frostbite can occur on exposed skin within minutes of this type of cold. Even death can occur if exposed to these conditions for too long.
