嵐（あらし）は、強い雨を伴う暴風のことである。正式 な気象学の用語ではない。日本では台風、あるいは北海 道沖や三陸沖、日本海などで発達する温帯低気圧等によ る暴風雨を指す。から春先にかけては、日本付近で急発 達する温帯低気圧によってもたらされる場合が多く、季 節によって「春の嵐」「秋の嵐」「冬の嵐」などと呼ん でいる。

i think it means something like this (most probably there'll be mistakes, the sentences are very long and i can't really understand):
<< 嵐 refers to strong rains accompanied by violent winds. Its not an official term of meteorology. In Japan, 嵐 refers to 台風, or possibly those 暴風雨s which are caused by extratropical cyclones (emerging from the seas of Hokkaido, Sanriku, Japan, etc) and the like. From late autumn till the start of spring, there are many cases of 嵐 caused by abrupt extratropical cyclones which were developed near Japan. Based on the seasons, these 嵐s are called "春の嵐", "秋の嵐", "冬の嵐", etc. >>
by this, does it mean that we will use 嵐 to refer to a "normal storm" ?
