Definition:
An updraft is air in ascent, lifting leaves, birds, and sometimes sudden chill along walls and cliffs. It can feel like a moving force you cannot see, only sense in its effects. Updrafts shape weather and movement, turning still air into direction. The word suggests lift created by heat, terrain, or pressure. It captures invisible motion that changes what can rise.
