Gaza | Very active and cold winds cause waves to become disturbed and double the feeling of coldness

Arab Weather - The latest outputs from the computer simulation for predicting wind movement show that the Gaza Strip will be affected on Friday by significant activity in the speed of the southwesterly winds, accompanied by strong gusts that negatively affect the stability of the displaced people's tents, and at the same time lead to significant disturbance in the waves on the coasts of the Strip.

Very active winds and clear turbulence on the waves of the Mediterranean Sea on the beaches of the Gaza Strip

In detail, the besieged Gaza Strip will be affected on Friday by a noticeable activity in the speed of the southwesterly winds at intervals, which will increase the feeling of cold significantly. It is expected that the speed of the wind gusts will exceed 50 km/h at some times, which may lead to negative effects on the camps for the displaced, especially with the weakness of the infrastructure of these camps and the lack of adequate means of protection.

Strong winds can also blow away tents and exacerbate the already difficult humanitarian conditions in overcrowded camps. It is advisable to take precautions, including securing tents and blankets, and avoiding being in open areas when winds are strong.

High waves on the coasts of the Gaza Strip and recommendations to be aware of the risks of the sea entering the land

As a result of the active winds, the waves are noticeably disturbed on the coasts of the Strip, where the wave height reaches about a meter and a half, with a high possibility of sea waves entering the land and coasts, which include a huge number of displaced people's tents. Therefore, the Arab Weather Regional Center advises paying attention to the risks of high waves and entering the sea, especially during the morning and afternoon hours, before the winds decrease and the waves gradually calm down during the evening and night hours.

May God help our brothers in the Gaza Strip. O God, bestow upon them the warmth of your mercy.
