Sudden strong wind or brief storm (6)

I believe the answer is:

squall

(Other definitions for squall that I've seen before include "Sharp rainy gust" , "Brief violent storm" , "Short-lived violent gust of wind and rain" , "Sudden storm of wind and rain, or a baby's cry" , "Yell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
