Spanish term or phrase: racha

Buenas,

¿Me ayudarían a traducir el término "racha" en la siguiente oración por favor?

Oración: "Poco a poco la racha de tormentas y lluvia se fue pasando".

Contexto: en este caso, una racha corresponde a una serie de eventos consecutivos o mejor dicho una serie de tormentas y lluvias.

Gracias.

series

Explanation:
Hola Pablo. Considero que la opción "series" es la más segura y sencilla.
En ese contexto, quedaría algo como "The series of storms and rains calmed down" (o el verbo que prefieras)
