>Same thing?

I was commenting on the "short lasting" part (and the nuances between neverin vs nevera, first one being for "short lasting" storms/thunderstorms, the latter being more generic).

>The root of the word seems to be disbelief ne + vjera

The word is completely unrelated to disbelief, it's of Venetian origin (< nevèra, meaning snow blizzard).
