सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

Poles often use this idiom with a touch of 'fatalizm' (fatalism). There is a cultural expectation that if things are too quiet, something must be wrong. In coastal cities, the phrase is still used literally by sailors on the Baltic Sea, where weather changes rapidly. The idiom is a favorite of Polish Romantic poets like Adam Mickiewicz, who used nature to mirror the political 'storms' of the partitions.
