The Chinese word 暴风雨 (bàofēngyǔ) is composed of three characters: 暴 (bào), meaning "violent" or "sudden"; 风 (fēng), meaning "wind"; and 雨 (yǔ), meaning "rain". Together, these characters form a compound word that literally means "violent wind and rain". This term is used to describe a severe storm, typically characterized by strong winds, heavy rain, and possibly other forms of precipitation such as hail or snow. In English, the closest equivalent term would be "storm" or "tempest".
