Chap hugging stone with blasts of wind (5)
I believe the answer is:
gusts
'blasts of wind' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'chap hugging stone' is the wordplay.
'chap' becomes 'gus' ().
'hugging' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'stone' becomes 'st'.
'gus' enclosing 'st' is 'GUSTS'.
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for gusts that I've seen before include "Bursts of strong wind" , "Sudden blasts of wind" , "Blows (of wind)" .)
