Intense rainfall.
Contexto cultural
Rain is often seen as a blessing for the wine culture, but 'ძლიერი წვიმა' is a warning for potential floods in mountain regions. In Batumi, heavy rain is so common that people have specific words for different types of rain intensity. In the capital, heavy rain often leads to immediate traffic chaos, which is a frequent topic of social media memes. Georgian poets use rain to symbolize cleansing or deep sadness, often using 'ძლიერი' to emphasize the scale of emotion.

Adjective vs Adverb
Use 'ძლიერი' before the noun, but 'ძლიერად' after the verb. Don't mix them up!
