The old lady
It is common that when the 25th of February comes, heavy wind blows and lasts for seven days until the beginning of March. The old lady turns the weather from winter to spring. That wind is called the old lady storm as it is inherited from old Arabs.
Today, I came across an article about the weather. It says that this year the old lady won’t affect the weather as it was preceded by a strong trough.
Does the old lady come to the place where you live? What are the strange names your people give to the weather changes?

weather from winter to spring. That wind is called the old lady storm as it is
inherited from old Arabs. [Technically correct, but reads a little funny. :) I would maybe say “The old Arabs called it the old lady storm” or “We inherited the name ‘old lady storm’ from the ancient Arabs”] Today, I came across an article about the weather. It
says that this year the old lady won’t affect the weather as it was preceded by
a [strong trough.]* Does the old lady come to the place where you live? What are

* I don’t understand “strong trough”?
I never knew about the old lady storm! We don’t have that where I live. In my area of the US, we sometimes get a specific warm wind that’s called the Pineapple Express. :)
