How it's used
This term carries a sense of internal heat or agitation, often implying that the person is easily provoked or currently in a state of high tension. It is frequently used to describe someone who has a short temper or is currently experiencing a flare-up of frustration. Unlike simply being mad, it suggests a volatile state that might lead to an outburst.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 燥底, which refers to a person's habitual short-tempered personality, whereas 躁火 often describes a temporary state of being angry or feeling the heat of frustration.
