A squall is a sudden, localized, and intense increase in wind speed, often accompanied by rain, snow, or hail. It's like a mini-storm that pops up quickly. 💨 Think of a sailboat suddenly being hit by a strong gust of wind. Squalls are usually short-lived but can be dangerous. They're common in coastal areas and during thunderstorms. Pilots and sailors need to be aware of squall warnings. Recognizing the signs of a squall can help you stay safe.
