Crosswinds at DUB?

Tomorrow mornings forecast for gusts up to 130kmh in Dublin Airport possible - any implications for outbound traffic at midday? Just looking at the possibility of delays from DUB - CDG with City Jet

No mention of 70 knot winds on the taf for tomorrow morning.

just retrieved the latest TAF, I'm pretty sure max gusts from previous one was 45, now this is attached to EIDW = TEMPO 1513/1518 23030G55KT=

so tomorrow from 13.00 to 18.00 gusts at 55kt or 102 kmh (28 m/s)

EIME is reporting 59kt, it's pretty bad here, but ATR's are still taking off so you should be grand even if it gets worse, that is - if the plane arrives inbound on time

I flew into Dublin on Sunday. It was pretty lively then.

I arrived this evening (Thursday 15th) at 1920 on an E170, completely oblivious to all these. It felt just like a normal approach and landing, nothing unusual! Either the winds had died down completely or the BA pilots (or Embraer control systems!!) are superb! I suspect the former.

I believe most of the disruption today was 1100-1400. Saw 3 go-rounds just after 1200 myself.

I flew in on Wednesday 14th at 22.30, as we came up the Irish Sea the feeling was like being in a boat with the waves coming from the side, not jerky, but more a gentle lifting of the plane. We then had to circle as Mr Pilot said they were waiting for a change of runways to take effect. (from Zurich with EI )
