A gust is a sudden, unexpected increase in wind speed - but here one moment, gone the next.

A squall is a small, short lived, but occasionally violent wind and rain storm. "Squalls" typically are very intense, but last fifteen minutes from start to finish.

Gusts are sudden increases in wind speed that last for a short duration, while squalls are sudden, intense bursts of wind accompanied by rain or snow. Squalls typically last longer and are associated with more turbulent weather conditions compared to gusts.
