Is it normal to be scared of wind?

Depends.It depends

It’s understandable to feel scared when wind is loud or strong, especially if it reminds you of a storm or something upsetting. If the fear is intense enough to regularly limit what you do, it may be worth getting support.

Yes, wind can be unnerving: it howls, rattles windows, and makes trees and other things move in ways you can’t control. Plenty of people feel nervous during strong gusts or storms, and a past frightening experience can make that reaction stronger.

If you’re only uneasy in severe weather, that’s pretty ordinary. If even a light breeze causes intense fear or makes you avoid normal activities, you could talk it through with a mental health professional; you don’t have to wait until it’s taking over your life.
