English term or phrase: isolated
Salam.

A term in weather forecasts. Will be use in app localization.

Eg: isolated thunderstorm, isolated rain

Terms in Malay that I would consider using:
1. pencilan (http://prpm.dbp.gov.my/Search.aspx?k=isolated thunderstorm)
2. di satu dua tempat

or any other terms?

Seeking for your kind opinion. Thank you.
