Wind is normally the enemy of sound recordists, but going through some recordings from last year I found this recording of ex-hurricane Ophelia from the 16th October 2017. Ophelia had been pretty nasty originally and was still bad when it got to Ireland.
I recorded it in Glastonbury in the south-west, by finding a sheltered spot and pointing the mic in a windshield at a bunch of trees, which made a good recording given the wind. The key was that I had good shelter at the mic, but the trees were exposed to the full force of the wind.
The storm dragged up a load of Saharan dust, making the sky the sickly yellow in the pic.
Your recording captures the sound of the wind in the trees very well with the sudden gusts and variations in intensity. Very good to listen to!
Thanks – I will search out hollows when the wind is up – it opened my ears to being able to get the effect of the wnd on other things, instead of the effect on the mics!
