heat burst
Localized, sudden increase in surface temperature associated with a thunderstorm, shower, or mesoscale convective system, often accompanied by extreme drying. The temperature jump can be so extreme that it is at times referred to as a “hot blast of air. ” Occurs in association with precipitation-driven downdrafts penetrating a shallow surface stable layer and reaching the ground.
