(n)
storm
A disturbance of the normal condition of the atmosphere, manifesting itself by winds of unusual direction or force, or by rain (often with lightning and thunder), snow, or hail, or by several of these phenomena in combination; a tempest: also used with reference to precipitation only, as in hail-storm, thunder-storm, snow-storm. A storm is usually associated with an area of low pressure, and its intensity or violence depends upon the steepness of the density-gradients which produce it. The terms area of low pressure, cyclone, cyclonic storm, and storm are often used interchangeably. In area of low pressure the primary reference is to the state of the barometer, in cyclone it is to the gyratory character of the atmospheric circulation, and in storm to the disturbance of the weather: but each term is extended to include the whole of the attendant phenomena. -
