how fast were the winds last night

It is not possible to say how fast the winds were “last night” in your area without knowing your specific location or being able to pull the exact local weather log for that place and time.
Why it cannot be answered precisely
- Wind speeds change a lot from place to place and even across a single city on the same night.
- Public summaries (like news or national maps) only give broad regional conditions, not the exact numbers in your neighborhood hour by hour.
How you can quickly check it yourself
To get a solid, number-based answer (including peak gusts) for last night:
- Go to a major weather site or app that has “history” or “past weather” for your country. Many national meteorological services and large forecast sites offer this.
- Enter:
- Your nearest town/city or airport.
- Yesterday’s date (the “last night” you mean).
- Open the “Hourly” or “History” view and look for:
- “Wind” and “Wind gust” columns in miles per hour or kilometers per hour.
* Note the highest “gust” value between about 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
What the numbers will usually look like
- On a calm night: sustained winds often under 5–10 mph (under about 15 km/h) with very small or no gusts.
- On a breezy/cool-front night: sustained winds commonly 10–25 mph (15–40 km/h) with higher gusts, sometimes above 30–35 mph (50–55 km/h) if a front or storm passed.
If you share your nearest city/town and the country or state, plus which night you mean, a more specific wind-speed range can be described.
