A storm is a strong wind event that causes damage to nature, infrastructure and buildings. The extent of damage caused depends on wind speed and the frequency of gusts. Extensive storm damage occurs when a storm front passes by. Storms are especially common during the winter months. Local storm damage can be caused by thunderstorms that mainly occur during the summer months. On lakes, strong winds generate high waves. Storms occur regularly in Switzerland.
