The period or conditions following a storm, or lingering atmospheric effects after severe weather.
Compound of 'after' and 'storm' (from Old Norse 'stormr'). Used in meteorological and metaphorical contexts to describe recovery periods.
The meteorological 'afterstorm' period is when lightning often strikes again as atmospheric pressure shifts—more dangerous than the storm itself in some cases!
