Will A Bomb Cyclone Affect Fresno Heating?

The term bomb cyclone has been making rounds in different media and news outlets after the cold temperature spiked up at an alarming rate. The term itself sounds a bit scary, but what exactly is a bomb cyclone? Is it a dangerous retaliation by mother nature? And will it affect all the heating units in Fresno CA?

“The answer, as with so many things when it comes to winter weather, is: It depends. A bomb cyclone is, essentially, a powerful low-pressure system that rapidly intensifies. If that sounds a lot like a hurricane, you’re not too far off. The ‘bomb’ part of the name refers to the phenomenon when the pressure inside a storm cell falls so quickly that it gives the storm explosive strength,” says Chris Morris in his fortune.com post. Additionally, “the term bomb cyclone comes from the scientific term “bombogenesis,” which is a storm that drops 24 millibars of pressure over 24 hours.”
