averse de pluie; averse : Bien qu'en langue générale averse désigne le plus souvent de la pluie, il n'est pas redondant d'employer [le terme] «averse de pluie», car une précipitation peut se présenter sous forme liquide ou solide. Les météorologues distinguent en effet les termes «averse de pluie», «averse de neige», «averse de grêle» et «averse de grésil». 4, record 1, French, - averse%20de%20pluie
