The seasonal weather in Connecticut has significant implications for residents and infrastructure. Summer heatwaves, with heat indices exceeding 38°C (100°F), can stress vulnerable populations and infrastructure. Thunderstorms and high humidity during this period also pose risks of flash flooding and power outages. Autumn brings the potential for nor’easters, which can cause coastal flooding and wind damage, as seen in 2022 when gusts exceeded 96 km/h (60 mph). Winter storms, though moderate in snowfall, can disrupt transportation and utilities, with freezing rain and sleet occasionally causing power outages. Wind chills below -29°C (-20°F) during arctic surges pose health risks, particularly for exposed skin.
