Sudden gust of wind 7 Little Words Crossword Clue Explanation
The crossword clue "Sudden gust of wind" with the answer "WILLIWAW" refers to a strong, sudden gust of wind that typically occurs in coastal areas and mountainous regions, particularly in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands.
The term "williwaw" is thought to have originated from the 19th-century English sailors who encountered these fierce, unpredictable winds. Williwaws can be dangerous, particularly to small boats, as they are often powerful enough to capsize vessels. They result from the rapid descent of cold air from higher altitudes, which intensifies as it rushes down mountainsides or cliffs toward the sea.
