English term or phrase: thunderstorm
This is heavy rain or hail along with thunder and lightning. I have found only translation furtună, but it is storm, not thunderstorm. How do you call thunderstorm in Romanian?

thunder = trăsnet sau tunet (sunetul)

agree  Ovidiu Martin Jurj: furtună sau vijelie; cf. DEX online, astea două au deja şi descărcări electrice, adică tunete şi fulgere, deci ar fi pleonasm să zici furtună cu fulgere

  -> corect! se mai spune totusi furtuna cu descarcari electrice, asa, intr-un text mai oficial; informal, furtuna, si "vijelie" e chiar si mai plastic. Multumesc, Ovidiu.

neutral  Anca Nitu: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/thunderstorm ; http://www.bartleby.com/61/63/T0196300.html , nu eventual ci cu siguranta cf dictionarelor, furtuna pur si simplu se cheama "storm" pur si simplu
