how windy was it last night

I don’t have access to precise local weather logs for your exact location, so I can’t tell you exactly how windy it was at your place last night.

However, across parts of the U.S. Northeast and nearby regions yesterday and last night (March 16–17, 2026), there were weather discussions and advisories about gusty conditions, with some areas seeing gusts in roughly the 25–50 mph range, depending on the specific city and time. That’s the kind of wind that can rattle windows, make driving high‑profile vehicles tricky, and send lighter outdoor items tumbling.

If you want an exact answer for your town for “last night,” the best way is to:

1. Check a historical section on a major weather site or app (look for “Past weather” or “History”) for March 16–17, 2026, and note:
   • Sustained wind (in mph or km/h).
   • Maximum gust overnight.
2. Compare it to the Beaufort scale:
   • Around 10–20 mph: noticeable breeze, trees moving, loose papers blowing.

 * Around 25–35 mph: strong breeze, large branches moving, walking into the wind feels harder.

 * Around 40+ mph: near gale to gale; small twigs snapped, very noisy around buildings, and unsecured objects can blow over.

So in everyday terms: if you heard a lot of whistling around windows and saw bins or lighter items shifting, you were probably in at least the strong‑breeze range, and possibly higher if there were local advisories.

Last note: any description here is regional and approximate. For exact numbers, a local “weather history” page for your town on a big weather site is the most reliable source.
