Understand the thought
Meaning in plain English
The saying puts calm after a storm. As an analogy, it offers hope that a period of difficulty can give way to relief.
What the words are saying
The sequence supplies a reassuring image without a timetable. A responsible reading acknowledges that improvement may require help or practical change, and some difficulties continue. It does not verify weather behavior or promise that distress will resolve simply by waiting.
Everyday example
Someone remains available to help during a difficult period without setting a deadline for relief.
When to use it
Use it as qualified reassurance about possible change.
What it does not mean
No weather rule or guaranteed resolution of difficulty is established.
