Stormsesong, måned for måned rundt om i verden
Tornadoer, derechoer, hagl — ettermiddagene du bør følge med på himmelen.
Dette er en advarselsside, ikke en anbefaling. Stormsesong omfatter 41 reisemål på SeasonMap; månedene under er de der risikovinduet er åpent — de fleste ukene i dem går stille for seg, og scoren ved siden av hvert sted er fortsatt den vanlige klimascoren, fare og alt.
