EN: squall
This is the ocean's version of a sudden mood swing. One minute you're chilling on a boat, the next, sigalbo hits—a surprise party of wind and rain that nobody asked for. It's a sudden, violent storm at sea, the kind that makes sailors go, 'Ah, here we go again.'
Possibly from Spanish 'galope' (gallop) or related nautical terms, combined with a local root.
Primarily used in a nautical or maritime context to describe a sudden, localized storm.
