Be sultry, awfully like stormy weather? (8)
I believe the answer is:
blustery
'stormy weather?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'be sultry awfully' is the wordplay.
'awfully' is an anagram indicator.
'be'+'sultry'='besultry'
'besultry' with letters rearranged gives 'BLUSTERY'.
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for blustery that I've seen before include "Blowing in fits and starts" , "Blowing strongly but unevenly" , "Rough and windy" , "(Of wind) fiercely beating" , "Swaggering" .)
