Hebrew has several words for storm, most notably including סערה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/סופת-ברקים-#.m4a” /] and סופה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/סופת-ברקים-#.m4a” /].

The latter is one used in conjunction with lightning to create סופת ברקים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/סופת-ברקים-#.m4a” /] – lightning storm.

For example:

There’s a lightning storm in the forecast – don’t go around outside!
