Une dépression

Question

Dictionaries give two different meanings for "dépression" in the weather context - either low pressure system or heavy rains.  Low pressure leads to rainstorms, but which is meant in this excercise?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sean,
There are international norms for such expressions and I always took it as meaning as  a low-pressure system, but this is not my field.
Take a look at the following Wiki page which I found with lots of interesting weather vocabulary that might interest you -
