| Drought: Areas such as the Horn of Africa are suffering severe drought bought on by seasonal changes, climate change, political troubles and population increases. This programme looks at those affected and the impact on their lives. Storm: This programme looks at hurricanes, cyclones, sand storms, sea storms and tornadoes. Why are some locations more susceptible than others to cyclogenisis (the development or strengthening of cyclonic circulation in the atmosphere)? Fire: Fires strike when the air is hot and the land is dry – and spread as high winds fan the flames. Lightening is the major source of naturally occurring fires. This episode looks at the California fires of 2007, the Los Alamos Research Laboratory supercomputer that simulated unfolding weather patterns, the fire camera system in New South Wales and the fire festival in Spain.
