why is there AT THAT in the end? what does it mean?

Answer

'At that' at the end of a phrase has the same effect as adding 'what's more'.

The wind whistles from all angles and - to make matters worse - it's also a fierce wind.

Answer

It is used to describe more expressively (more extreme) the subject.

In this case, the wind that it is "fierce" wind!
