Climate Change and God using weather to get our attention
I have an interest in exploring the instances where God uses weather-related events to get our attention or execute judgement. There is much discussion about global warming so I wanted to evaluate how God may use weather or "natural disasters" such as earthquakes to get our attention. The drought in Elijah's day is one case in point. How might I go about that?

I would do a brain dump of possible terms like rain, flood, drought (as you mentioned), hail, storm, etc. and then do a search for those terms.

I would find one example in the Bible, and then use the Louw-Nida domain number to track down other examples.

I was just about to suggest Louw & Nida, "Physical Events and States."

Check Louw Nida - there is probably a range of numbers for weather related events - that will cover the Greek and give you search words for the Hebrew.
Looking at the words in NIDDTE or similar may also indicate corresponding Hebrew terms to search

Internally we've been considering doing a dataset for this question. Looks like a popular idea: https://feedback.logos.com/boards/logos-data-sets/posts/weather-in-the-bible

Do a study on the Minor Prophets, there is a lot there.
I'm constantly referring to a resource by Boice https://www.logos.com/product/8194/minor-prophets-vol-1-hosea-jonah
