Gust- 1. A sudden, brief increase in the speed of the wind. It is of a more transient character than a squall and is followed by a lull or slackening in the wind speed. Generally, winds are least gusty over large water surfaces and most gusty over rough land and near high buildings. According to U.S. weather observing practice, gusts are reported when the peak wind speed reaches at least 16 knots and the variation in wind speed between the peaks and lulls is at least 9 knots. The duration of a gust is usually less than 20 s. 2. With respect to aircraft turbulence, a sharp change in wind speed relative to the aircraft; a sudden increase in airspeed due to fluctuations in the airflow, resulting in increased structural stresses upon the aircraft. 3. (Rare.) Same as cloudburst

What is the equivalent wind speed of the Saffir-Simpson scale if the change is made from 1 minute average wind speed to a 3 second gust wind speed?
To convert a 1-minute average wind speed to a 3-second gust wind speed on the Saffir-Simpson scale, you would typically multiply the 1-minute average wind speed by a factor of about 1.5 to 2. This adjustment accounts for the shorter time period of the gust measurement and the higher peak wind speeds that gusts can produce.
