Nasty weather - wind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wreathe

'wind' is the definition.
('wreathe' can be a synonym of 'wind')

'nasty weather' is the wordplay.
'nasty' indicates an anagram.
'weather' with letters rearranged gives 'WREATHE'.

(Other definitions for wreathe that I've seen before include "Encircle with flowers" , "wind" , "Weather (anag.)" , "Twist together" , "Intertwine, curl round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
