However, strong winds had blown him onto the window ledge of the 85th floor, which is where he met Bob Stichman.

I don't understand how strong winds can blow a person onto the window ledge. Is it supposed to be figurative?

Thank you very much.

It is figurative. The circumstances which led the person to the window ledge are being called 'strong winds.'
