Answer

GUSTY

GUSTY is an adjective used to describe weather marked by sudden, strong bursts of wind called gusts. The word derives from the noun gust, which likely comes from Old Norse gustr meaning a cold blast of wind. Weather forecasters commonly use this term when wind speeds fluctuate significantly rather than remaining steady.

Strategy Tip

Words ending in Y are quite common in English, especially adjectives. If you suspect the answer might be an adjective, trying words with the Y ending pattern can help you confirm or eliminate that possibility early.
