Due to the ongoing La Niña, severe weather and tornado activity could abruptly fire up and rival one of the most notorious severe weather seasons ever (2011).
A study in 2015 from Columbia University found that a fairly strong La Niña brings more tornadoes and hailstorms over portions of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and other parts of the southern USA.

We had more snow than normal this year. I like the first few snowfalls then it gets old. It is warming up now. We will probably get a lot of rain this summer- hopefully no tornadoes.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The Chinese capital Beijing woke on Sunday morning shrouded in thick dust carrying extremely high levels of hazardous particles, as a second sandstorm in two weeks hit the city due to winds from drought-hit Mongolia and northwestern China.
Visibility in the city was reduced, with the tops of some skyscrapers obscured by the sandstorm, and pedestrians were forced to cover their eyes as gusts of dust swept through the streets.
PM2.5 particles are especially harmful because they are very tiny and can enter the bloodstream, while PM10 is a larger particle that can enter the lungs.
