Examples of extreme weather events that impact crop production and yields include: heatwaves, droughts, and floods.
And extreme weather events damage crops, cause soil loss, and change soil moisture content.
Further, pre-harvest food supplies can be impacted and result in production losses, economic losses, and disruptions to food supply chains.
As an example, a damaging wind just prior to harvesting results in the discarding of all the fruit in several orchards.
