Meteor storms are a randomly occurring event, during which a number of meteorites will spawn and be launched towards the world from the direction of the sun. Their severity can be altered in the World Settings, and the options are as follows:-

Safe 
No meteor storms.
Normal 
Meteor storms will occur rarely, more as a nuisance than a real threat.
Cataclysm 
Meteor storms occur regularly and cause significant damage.
Armageddon 
Meteors never stop. Meteors are on fire. Meteors will cause major damage. Good luck.

Meteors appear to come in two sizes; a larger one, which is clearly visible from a distance and can tear through 4x4 chunks of large light armour, and a smaller one, which is only visible when relatively close and only causes minor denting.
