'one under pressure?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'a flipping angry look upset' is the wordplay.
'flipping' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'angry' becomes 'sore' (similar in meaning).
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'upset' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'sore' backwards is 'eros'.
'lo' backwards is 'ol'.
'a'+'eros'+'ol'='AEROSOL'
