Try getting out of White Orchard, before judging the entire game based on it, maybe?. I'm in Velen swamps atm, and it's not windy at all..
No please, no CDPR dont change this. The weather is what makes this game for me. The best time I have had so far was when I was caught out in this massive storm that keep going for like 10mins and even when i thought the worst passed, the lightening and wind picked up even more. I could barely see where I was going. Suddenly all the weather effects I have even seen in any game before were worthless and comical compared to this. Hell when I was caught in the storm even my screen was covering in rain, I wanted it to take some health damage from me, for even more of an effect.
PS there is already an option to remove it, mediation. If you dont like just fast forward an hour or two.

It doesn't get as windy in other area's outside of white orchid, but I too love the weather effects in W3, that and the amazing lighting system that stops you in your tracks often especially during sunsets/sunrises. Storms are fun too 
Actually not they don't. Ever seen trees in any thunderstorm? That's what it looks like. And next to large bodies of water storms can blow up real fast. I've camped on the shores of the Great Lakes before and it pretty much looks like it does in TW3 every night of the week.

Well, depends what you like, but its certainly not realistic.
The trees in velen aren't some weak bush, they look like conifers with hard trunks, and i've never seen them sway in a sideways direction like that. If by some freak chance the wind was strong enough to do that in real life, there is no way in hell a man an a horse are going to me moving anywhere without getting swept up and thrown by 100+kph winds.
If you look up they're like faffin windscreen wipers.
The perfectly timed alternations and the fact that each sway is the exact same distance back and fourth well.
Personally the trees do upset immersion... when you see them moving like that.

Gotta say, when the worst thing you can say about a game is the trees sway too much from the wind, things are looking up.
Never seen a "bug" like that. Of course there is wind inside those crooked cabins in Velen with open windows. When I enter a stone house (in Oxenfurt, Novigrad etc.), Geralt's hair only moves with him, not the wind. If you have holes in your roof IRL and you get wet when it rains, that isn't a bug either.
