A time storm or timestorm, also known as a chronometeorological event, (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible) was a method of time/space transportation that could be experienced in many forms. Unlike traversing the time vortex in a TARDIS, time storms were usually directly experienced by the people being transported as a swirl of light and colours, (TV: Silver Nemesis) including scarlet, aqua, gold, white, heliotrope, lime, and vermilion, as it snapped out waves of random energy. (PROSE: Set Piece) They could be responsible for temporal refraction, which Narvin hypothesised might cause a localised time loop, as on Njagilheim. (AUDIO: Nevernor) They could happen if time was in a chaotic and unreliable state. (TV: Once, Upon Time)

On Gallifrey, temporal storms regularly built up over the Myridian mountains. According to Romana II, this was not, to her knowledge, a natural occurrence on any planet other than Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Nevernor)
Time storms could be emitted by time rifts. (PROSE: Set Piece) The Third Doctor claimed to have seen time storms off Gallifrey (PROSE: The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Time Traveller) and the Tantalus Eye emitted temporal storms along with time winds. (PROSE: Engines of War) Ergostorms were a form of time storm that could occur in the ergosphere of a black hole in the hole was collapsing, causing space and time to warp. (AUDIO: Aquitaine)
