Southerly gale so its really only the south and later the east coasts that get the brunt.

Rain and wind had eased off here for about 20 mins, now the wind is whistling again

Getting worse on East Coast windows are shaking and had to take furniture in off the balcony too

They really do liven things up big time when theyre still in full leaf.

Every so often it feels like it might be easing off but then it's back, things hopping off the windows the last few minutes :eek:

still nothing out of the ordinary here, not a single rumble down the chimilly tonight. Southerlies are uncommon in my parts anyway.

Yes when winds swing round SSE or SE, winds will noticeably increase.

Gusting nearly 60kts (approx 110kph) in Dublin Bay at the moment - worst I've seen it in a long time. Certainly glad I'm not out there in a boat!

Gusting near 70kph here in Kildare now

It has been getting increasingly windy and gusty here (D.16) in the past hour. Definitely a "wind event" already for these parts with rattling windows/doors and wheelie bins doing their thing.

I'm probably in the worst possible location for a southerly flow (completely sheltered to the south by the Dub/Wicklow Mtns.), but it's getting pretty wild!

The power just went out for a split second there.

In athlone and we're getting rammaged. So if by localised you mean local to everywhere except you.... then yes, very localized

I've seen a few posts in this thread reporting how the wind gusts come in with a huge force and wham! Getting it here the past half hour in Kildare. Very strong indeed.

Quick 30 second video of the driving rain and strong winds tonight outside of Derry. Obviously not as bad as other parts of the country...
