tempête de feu : Plusieurs auteurs emploient la désignation «tempête de feu» pour désigner un orage déclenché par un pyrocumulonimbus. Il convient toutefois plutôt d'employer les désignations formées avec le substantif «orage», qui désignent de façon plus juste ce phénomène météorologique. 1, record 1, French, - orage%20pyroconvectif
