喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Describing the sort of weather that comes just before a — heavy, close, sticky air, the sky going yellowish-grey, everything very still. students know this feeling well: a thundery afternoon in summer, when you can feel the storm coming before it comes. The word is used almost only about weather, and mostly by British speakers and in British weather forecasts: 'thundery showers', 'thundery outbreaks', 'a thundery spell'. Americans are more likely to say 'stormy' or just 'thunderstorms'. It does not usually mean the thunder is happening now — it means the air is loaded and ready. Some speakers also use it for a face or a mood, the way 'thundercloud' works: 'he came in looking thundery' means he came in looking furious. That use is less common, but you will meet it in novels.
