Tempestuous male stops narrative (6)
I believe the answer is:
stormy
'tempestuous' is the definition.
('stormy' can be similar in meaning to 'tempestuous')
'male stops narrative' is the wordplay.
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'stops' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'narrative' becomes 'story' ('story' can be a synonym of 'narrative').
'm' placed inside 'story' is 'STORMY'.
(Other definitions for stormy that I've seen before include "Gusty" , "''... Weather'' (old torch song)" , "Violent, boisterous" , "Full of angry outbursts" , "Wet and windy" .)
