A brilliant Scottish word for a sudden, heavy downpour that arrives with thunder — a storm that hits fast, hits hard, and soaks everything before you can even think about an umbrella.
A brilliant Scottish word for a sudden, heavy downpour that arrives with thunder — a storm that hits fast, hits hard, and soaks everything before you can even think about an umbrella. The word perfectly captures the suddenness ("plump" suggests a sudden fall) and the drama ("thunder") of these intense squalls. It's a gem of dialectal meteorological vocabulary that outclasses "heavy shower" in every possible way. Scotland has the weather to justify a word this specific, and it shows.
We were halfway across the moor when a thunderplump came from nowhere and drenched us completely.
