High wind in Bengal, especially? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gale

'high wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in bengal especially?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GALE' is hidden in the letters of 'bengal especially'.

(Other definitions for gale that I've seen before include "Strong wind" , "A storm of wind and rain" , "Squall" , "Bille from a bladder" , "High wind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
