Well one answer is that the witches have the power to control the wind. This is used for example in act , scene III when the witches discuss of their evil deeds, the first witch uses her power of the wind (and the second witch's) to put a sailor's boat (the husband of the lady who refused to give her the chestnuts she asked for) on unfriendly water as she strands him at sea for 81 weeks without sleep.
