Cold snaps and winter storms
On January 8, a snowstorm in Pakistan caused 23 deaths.[1]
Two significant winter storms happened at the beginning of the year, one in the middle of January that killed five and one in early February that killed eight.
Southern Ontario saw the second snowiest day during the January storm, with schools and airports shutting down.[2] The storm also spawned a brief EF2 tornado, causing several injuries and significant damage in Iona, Florida.[3]
2 feet (0.61 m) of snow fell near Colorado Springs, Colorado during the February winter storm,[4] which also produced several tornadoes, one of which caused a death.[5] As the storm passed, the temperature dropped dramatically in places such as New York City.[6]
Less significant events also occurred throughout the winter. On January 3–4, a winter storm caused five deaths,[7] and a 24 hour long traffic jam on Interstate 95 in Virginia.[8] On January 22, Canaan, West Virginia set a new all-time record low.[9] The cold wave behind it results in five deaths.[10][11] On January 21, a winter storm killed one person in North Carolina when an ambulance slid off the road.[12] A late January blizzard dumps massive snowfall, especially over Boston, and results in four deaths on Long Island.[13] In late February, a winter storm kills two people: one each in Tennessee and Kentucky.[14][15] On March 28, during a record breaking cold snap, a snow squall on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania causes six deaths.[16] Another blizzard occurs in mid April, causing one death in North Dakota.[17]
Heat waves and droughts
Temperatures reached record-breaking highs when they were reported at 50.7 °C (123.3 °F) in Onslow, Western Australia,[18] 114 °F (46 °C) in Phoenix, Arizona,[19] 116 °F (47 °C) in Sacramento,[20] and 127 °F (53 °C) in Death Valley, the latter of which became the hottest September temperature on record.[21] China experienced the worst heat wave in world history during the summer of 2022.[22] Heat waves in India and Pakistan in the spring caused 90 deaths.[23][24] North America also had significant heat waves, which caused 19 deaths in July alone.[25] Both July and August saw the warmest daily minimums on record in the United States.[26][27] The heat wave in California in September nearly broke the power grid.[28] In Japan, June saw record breaking temperatures, with the 40 °C (104 °F) threshold beating the previous record set in 2011.[29][30] Heat waves in Europe cause 11,000 deaths in France alone.[31]
Tornadoes
The first tornadic fatality of the year occurred on 3 February, when an EF2 tornado struck Sawyerville, Alabama, killing one person.[32] A tornado outbreak occurred in Poland with at least 11 tornadoes on 17 February, resulting in 2 fatalities and 5 injuries. 6 of the 11 tornadoes have been rated F2.[33]
March saw a record number of tornadoes[34] and 3 major outbreaks: 5-7, 21-23, and 29-31. The first tornado outbreak, despite being the smallest, is the deadliest tornado outbreak of 2022, causing 7 deaths[35] of which six were in a single EF4 that also caused 5 injuries and $220 million.[36][37][38][39] The next tornado outbreak caused 3 deaths, plus 3 due to flash flooding in Alabama[40] and one indirect death due to the 2022 New Orleans tornado. This EF3 tornado causes a direct and indirect death, at least two injuries, and $32.5 million in damage,[41][42][43] as well as 16,000 power outages.[44] The final tornado outbreak is the largest, causing 90 tornadoes. It also causes 3 fatalities. An EF3 tornado in Florida early on March 31 caused two of the fatalities.[45] Total damage from the storm reach $1.3 billion.[46]
In April, tornadic activity died down a bit, but still featured a tornado outbreak of 87 tornadoes early in the month. That outbreak caused a tornadic death due to an EF4 tornado in Georgia.[47] A storm complex in mid-April also results in a large tornado outbreak, but without fatalities. An EF3 tornado in Texas caused 23 injuries and $100,000 in damage.[48][49] On April 29, an EF3 tornado near Andover, Kansas caused $41.5 million.[50][51]
Tornadic activity slowed significantly after April. However, a significant tornado outbreak does occur across the US and Canada in mid to late May. This included an EF3 in Gaylord, Michigan that caused 2 deaths, 44 injuries and $50.175 million in damage.[52] The storm also helps fuel the May 2022 Canadian derecho that causes 11 deaths.[53] A day before, a European tornado outbreak spawns 9 tornadoes that result in 46 injuries.[54][55] After that, the next significant outbreak isn't for two months, until July 20. A tornado outbreak in China caused 3 deaths and 26 injuries.[56][57][58][59][60]
