Equivalent to approximately 36 billion liters of water.. Huge amounts of rain expected to fall on Gaza on Monday and Tuesday

Arab Weather - God willing, it is expected that the Gaza Strip will be affected on Monday and Tuesday by a low pressure system accompanied by a cold air mass, like the rest of the Levant countries, which are affected by the expected low pressure system.

Weather forecasters at "Arab Weather" said that the impact of the low pressure system will be strong on the Gaza Strip over the course of Monday and Tuesday, as weather maps indicate that the low pressure system will be accompanied by large amounts of rain expected to fall on various areas of the Strip, which may reach 100 mm in some areas.

A huge amount of rain, up to 36 billion liters of water, is expected to fall on the Gaza Strip

According to current data, it is expected that rainfall amounts of up to 100 millimeters will fall on the Gaza Strip, equivalent to 36 billion liters of water, which is a very large amount that could, in a short period of time, lead to floods and a significant rise in water levels.

But where did this number of 36 billion liters of water come from in the Gaza Strip?

To calculate the amount of rainfall over a specific geographical area, you must first know the area of the geographical area and the amount of rainfall, as every 1 millimeter of rainfall is equivalent to one liter of water per square meter.

Let us take the Gaza Strip as an example. The area of the Gaza Strip is 360 square kilometers, or 36 million square meters. If we assume that 100 millimeters of rain will fall on the Gaza Strip, that is, 100 liters will fall per square meter.

Because the area of Gaza in square meters is equal to 36 million square meters, we multiply 36 million square meters by 100 liters (36 million * 100 liters) and it equals (36 billion liters of water).

It is a huge and terrifying amount of rain expected in a short period. We ask God for safety and help for our people in the Gaza Strip.

The following is an illustrative example of the equation for calculating rainfall amounts over a geographical area:

When it is said that 100 mm of rainfall fell on a certain area, it means that the amount of water that fell is equivalent to covering that area with a layer of water 100 mm (10 cm) high.

To calculate the total amount of water:

Calculate the area in appropriate units:

If the area is in square kilometers, convert it to square meters.
(1 square kilometer = 1,000,000 square metres).

Multiply the area of the region by the rainfall:

Total amount of water = Rainfall height (100 mm = 0.1 m) × Area (in square meters).

example:

If the area of the region is 10 square kilometers:

Area = 10 x 1,000,000 = 10,000,000 square meters.

Amount of water = 0.1 m3 x 10,000,000 m2 = 1,000,000 m3.

Result:

The amount of water is one million cubic meters.
