Wind conditions “last night” depend entirely on your exact location and the specific night you mean, and that information is not included in your question, so a precise speed or gust value cannot be given here.

What can be said generally

  • Wind “strength” is usually described by:
    • Sustained wind speed (average over 1–10 minutes).
* Peak gusts (short bursts higher than the sustained wind).
  • Many weather services map wind speed to descriptive terms like:
    • Light breeze: around 4–7 mph.
    • Moderate breeze: around 8–18 mph.
    • Strong breeze and above: over about 25 mph and higher, which can start to feel quite strong.

How to find how strong it was for you

To know how strong the wind actually was where you are:

  1. Go to a major weather site or app (national meteorological service, Timeanddate, Weather Underground, etc.).
  1. Use the “past weather”, “history”, or “almanac” section.
  2. Enter:
    • Your nearest city or weather station.
    • The date corresponding to “last night”.
  3. Look for:
    • Maximum sustained wind (often listed in mph or km/h).
    • Maximum gust speed for that night.

How to interpret the numbers

Typical guidelines many services roughly follow:

  • Under ~10 mph (under ~15 km/h): Light wind, leaves move gently.
  • 10–20 mph (15–30 km/h): Noticeable breeze, small branches move; can feel blustery.
  • 20–30 mph (30–50 km/h): Stronger breeze; larger branches move, can feel quite windy walking.
  • 30–40+ mph (50–65+ km/h): Near gale or gale; difficult to walk against, unsecured objects may blow around.

If you want a more exact answer

If you share:

  • Your city or nearest town, and
  • Which “last night” (e.g., “last night, Dec 26, 2025”),

then an estimate of the actual maximum wind speed and how it ranks (light, moderate, strong, etc.) can be provided.
