Quiet period (before the storm?) (4)

I believe the answer is:

lull

(Other definitions for lull that I've seen before include "Soothe or send to sleep" , "Period of inactivity" , "Calm - calm by deception" , "Short period of quiet" , "A calm period as in a storm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
