How to describe a strong windy weather condition in a way implying the aggressiveness?
Hello, I am not a native English speaker.
Suppose that it is very windy outside.
Is there any way to describe that except that "It is very windy." or "It is really windy."?
For example,
I want to say like below.
"The wind is very strong."
"The wind is tough."
"The wind is very aggressive outside."
I asked a native English speaker if the three of example are usable and
she answered "It is not.".
I want to describe the wind with its strong physical feeling.
But just "very windy" is not the way I want.
Thank you.

What you seem to be looking for is a more poetic way of describing the wind, a way which would not be appropriate in an ordinary, everyday conversation. wailing, howling, whistling and synonyms of these words may be what you want. I recommend looking these up in a thesa

Weather forecasters sometimes refer to "gale-force winds."
Personally, I like "the wind is very aggressive" -- it's not ordinarily said, but it's very expressive. I would expect an "aggressive wind" to be knocking down porch furniture and tree branches.
