Tempest ;

Storm }, {
Tempest }.
Storm is violent agitation ,
a commotion of the elements by wind ,

but not necessarily implying the fall of anything from the clouds .
Hence ,
to call a mere fall or rain without wind a storm is a departure from the true sense of the word .

such as those common on the coast of Italy ,
where the term originated ,
and is usually attended by a heavy rain ,
with lightning and thunder .
