Oh yes, it definitely could be wrong. The clue is "Wind resulting from unsettled weather" (7) ?R???H? I had put in "draught", but could it be "breathe"?
wreathe - means to coil/curl and is anagram of 'weather'
No - Wreathe (anagram of weather)

I can't see any justification for Breathe.
The answer will be WREATHE (anagram of weather) which means twist or entwine and explains the WIND (pronounced WINED)
not a problem UncleMeleager, I assumed that to be the case
