szélroham

Szélroham is a Hungarian word that translates to "gust of wind" or "wind squall" in English. It describes a sudden and brief increase in wind speed. These phenomena are typically associated with more widespread weather systems, such as thunderstorms or cold fronts, but can also occur independently. A szélroham is characterized by its rapid onset and cessation, making it distinct from a steady wind. The intensity of a szélroham can vary significantly, ranging from a light breeze that momentarily rustles leaves to powerful gusts capable of causing minor damage. Observing a szélroham often involves noticing a swift movement of objects, such as trees bending or dust being kicked up. Meteorologists study wind patterns to predict the occurrence and intensity of such events, which can have implications for outdoor activities, aviation, and even structural integrity. The term emphasizes the abrupt and forceful nature of the wind's passage.
