tempestuousness
Stormy emotional quality
Tempestuousness is the quality of being stormy, turbulent, or violently agitated.
The word applies to weather, but more often to emotions, relationships, or periods of upheaval: the tempestuousness of their marriage, the tempestuousness of adolescence.
It suggests intensity that flares and subsides rather than steady calm.
