风云 (fēng yún) — weather, wind and clouds (literal); unstable situation, turbulent times, upheaval (figurative)

Literally 'wind and cloud', but almost always used figuratively for turbulent, fast-changing situations (especially political or historical). Unlike 天气 ('weather' as a daily topic), 风云 refers to upheaval, closer to 动荡.
