The Calm Before The Storm
A period of unusual tranquillity or stability that seems likely to presage difficult times.
You can use the calm before the storm to refer to a quiet period in which there is little or no activity, before a period in which there is a lot of trouble or intense activity.
Examples:
- This is just the calm before the storm, when the kids get home from school this house will be chaos.
- My mom gets really quiet when she is angry. We all know that it’s the calm before the storm and try to get out of her way before it hits.
- The family’s meeting on property dispute begins today and I’m just sitting down with a cup of coffee, enjoying the calm before the storm.
