https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/狂風驟雨
------------------

Editor: It's in Grand Ricci: "vent violent et pluie torrentielle".
But they don't mention a figurative sense.

MoE does:
https://www.moedict.tw/%E7%8B%82%E9%A2%A8%E9%A9%9F%E9%9B%A8
1. 大風大雨。
2. 比喻處境險惡

But I didn't see much evidence of that figurative sense.
I just saw stuff like this:
- 南投狂風驟雨大樹連根拔起砸毀車.
- 狂風驟雨迫使石門水庫緊急洩洪,...
"The strong winds and heavy rains forced an emergency release of water from the Shihmen Reservoir, ..."

Feel free to submit again if you can show the fig. sense is used.
Diff:
# 狂風驟雨 狂风骤雨 [kuang2 feng1 zhou4 yu3] /(lit.) violent storm and gusty rain/(fig.) dangerous situation/
+ 狂風驟雨 狂风骤雨 [kuang2 feng1 zhou4 yu3] /strong wind and heavy rain (idiom)/
