If one were to ask a group of people to come up with a word that best describes weather conditions that are out of the ordinary and disruptive, most people would likely respond with "inclement." This word has been used to describe weather conditions for centuries, and it's still an accurate description today. Inclement weather can be anything from a brief shower to a long hurricane, and while most people might only experience one or two inclement weather episodes in their lifetime, they can have a significant impact on both the local area and the entire nation. Inclement weather can disrupt transportation, cause power outages, and even lead to bushfire outbreaks.
