Bedeutung
Describing a high-speed wind condition.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Strong winds are often seen as a precursor to the 'Pi Mai' (Lao New Year) showers in April, which wash away the dust of the dry season. Fishermen use the direction of 'Lom Haeng' to decide which side of the river to fish on. A north wind is called 'Lom Nao' (Cold Wind). Farmers fear 'Lom Haeng' during the harvest season because it can knock down the heavy stalks of rice (Khao Lom). Sudden strong winds without rain are sometimes thought to be spirits passing through, leading people to stay indoors.
Use 'Lai'
Always add 'ຫຼາຍ' (lai) after 'ລົມແຮງ' if you want to sound more natural when complaining about the weather.
Safety First
If a Lao person says 'ລົມແຮງ' while looking at the Mekong, take it seriously. It usually means a storm is minutes away.
