- Definição3
- Strong wind that rises suddenly, lasts for a few minutes, and then passes away is called a squall. Squalls are frequently associated with the passage of cold fronts. In such circumstances, they occur in a line and are accompanied, typically, by a sharp fall of temperature, veer of wind, a rise in relative humidity, and a roll-shaped cloud with horizontal axis (line squall).
