No strong winds forecast for Dublin. It will be gusty but nothing different from a typical March windy day.

Your idea of typical March windy day is rather impressive

The North West and North will see severe gusts but Dublin won't. Gale gusts at most surely?

Not severe but more than a typical windy day in March in my opinion but that is a matter of opinion I guess.

I'm finding it very windy at the minute in Dublin. Strongest I've been in for a while (certainly day time). Gates and fences aren't lasting very long. Bins have decided to take flight in some form of skating exercise along the road. If it's not meant to got properly until later, shall be am interesting few hours!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We know use our old christmas tree as a wind vane. Up-calm, half down - windy, having a nap - gareth.

Fairly blustery here in south Donegal. Seas are up. Tried to photo the trawlers in the bay but my my phone is old and ropey! Will try to attach here. There are three in this photo but hard to see them. In real life it was quite something to see the bows rise and fall so much.

Gusts at Malin Head and Mace Head to 60 knots (111 km/hr)

That's interesting - Mace Head is not even included in the Orange level zone, but I have noticed that the wind is really severe here at the moment. I checked the stats for Belmullet, which I would have expected to be much higher, but strangely enough, it is not as high as Mace Head. I read in a post here that it is expected to peak at Malin at around 20.00 hrs or so - is it expected to ease off earlier further south, say Mace Head, or is it later in the night?

Some strong gusts in cork city but not as constant as last night nor as strong. Might pick up a bit later but for those in the northwest, stay safe and continue updating us please! Hopefully you tied everything down and are tucked up inside!

I believe the winds are expected to peak about 8pm. So you have a while yet before they ease at all!

I was looking at the forecast for keel west and achill and its showing not much easing till around 3 or 4am.
