Africa has a varied climate, with regions experiencing tropical, desert, and Mediterranean climates. Generally, the continent is known for its hot temperatures, with some areas having rainy and dry seasons. Africa is also prone to extreme weather events like droughts, heatwaves, and tropical cyclones.
Yes, extreme weather can have some benefits, albeit often indirectly. For instance, heavy rainfall can replenish water supplies and support agriculture in drought-prone areas. Additionally, certain extreme weather events, like wildfires, can help maintain ecological balance by clearing out dead vegetation and promoting new growth. However, these benefits are generally overshadowed by the negative impacts associated with extreme weather.
Deserts may experience dust or sand storms. Severe thunderstorms also occur in some deserts, particularly in the rainy season, and these may bring torrential rain, high winds and even hail. Although rare, some deserts may experience an occasional blizzard.
It is uncertain whether extreme weather events will be less frequent over the next century due to ongoing climate change. While some regions may see a decrease in certain types of extreme weather, such as hurricanes or heatwaves, others may experience an increase in severity and frequency of events like floods or wildfires. Mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to a changing climate will be crucial in managing future extreme weather risks.

Most of the time, the weather does not harm us. Whether it is sunny or rainy, warm or cold, windy or calm, we carry on with our lives and all is well. However, in extreme weather events such as floods, hurricanes, blizzards etc., sometimes people's houses are destroyed or seriously damaged, or people are killed, and that qualifies as catastrophic.
There are many limiting factors in the desert. Some of these include; little water, extreme heat, few plants and animals and no shelter.
