gustier

Gustier is a term used to describe something that is characterized by or prone to gusts. A gust is a sudden, brief increase in the strength of the wind. Therefore, a gustier environment or condition would experience more frequent or more intense wind gusts. This can apply to various contexts, from weather phenomena to descriptions of the sea or even the feeling of air movement. For instance, a coastal area might be described as gustier than an inland region, especially during certain seasons. Similarly, the sea can be described as gustier, indicating that the waves are being whipped up by unpredictable bursts of wind. The term emphasizes the variability and suddenness of wind speed, rather than a steady, consistent breeze.
