Sudden localised storm (6)

I believe the answer is:

squall

(Other definitions for squall that I've seen before include "Sudden violent gust of wind" , "Sudden brief storm" , "Brief violent storm" , "Sudden strong wind" , "Sudden storm of wind and rain, or a baby's cry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
