"Weather whiplash" refers to rapid and extreme fluctuations in weather conditions over a relatively short period of time. This phenomenon can involve sudden transitions from extreme heat to extreme cold, heavy rainfall to drought, or vice versa. Such drastic changes can have significant impacts on ecosystems, agriculture, water supply, and infrastructure. The term is often discussed in the context of climate change, as increased variability in weather patterns is one of the expected consequences of shifting climate conditions.
