Weather Vocabulary Posted by on Jun 17, 2008 in Vocabulary

Though traditionally Brazil has had few natural disasters, global warming has begun to change that trend, so let’s take a look at some weather vocabulary:

hurricane: furacão [foo-rah-cownn] 
tornado: tornado [tor-nah-doh]
flood: inundação [een-oon-dah-sownn]
earthquake: terremoto [teh-heh-moh-toh]
storm: tempestade [temp-est-ah-gee]
water spout: trombra d’água [trohm-brah dah-gwah]

This water spout was spotted in Santarém, in the north of Brazil last week.

    Tromba d’agua is a formal form for water spout, but we have in Portuguese another expression usually used by Brazilians in an informal context: Pé d’agua.
