Does it make you shelter from the wind in the street? (5)
I believe the answer is:
sleet
'wind in the street?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'does it make you shelter' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found in the answer.
'shelter' could be 'lee' (as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind) and 'lee' is found in the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'from the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sleet that I've seen before include "Partly melted falling snow or hail" , "Snowy rain" , "Partially frozen rain" , "unpleasant weather" , "Rain mixed with snow or hail" .)
