Strong effects of the low pressure system on the Gaza Strip and strong winds leading to waves rising to more than 4 meters.. Details

Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center said that the latest data from what is called computer simulation indicates that the Gaza Strip will be affected in the coming days by a low pressure system accompanied by a very cold air mass of polar origin and humidity. The low pressure system is expected to bring rainy and stormy weather, which will exacerbate the difficult humanitarian conditions of the people of the Strip.

The air depression will start its direct impact in the afternoon hours of Wednesday.

By Wednesday afternoon, the actual impact of the low pressure system on the Gaza Strip begins, so temperatures drop and the weather becomes cold in all areas. Cloud cover gradually increases, as the weather becomes changeable between partly cloudy and cloudy, and rain falls at intervals, sometimes heavy, and winds gradually intensify, especially with rain clouds, and become active in speed and the sea is medium-waved.

The low pressure system will intensify in Gaza on Wednesday night and Thursday, and there are fears of a worsening of the humanitarian situation

The computer outputs at the Arab Weather Center show the intensification of the low pressure system’s impact on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday/Thursday night and until Thursday evening, as the weather becomes noticeably colder and the weather becomes very cold, wintry, cloudy and rainy at times, and the rain is sometimes heavy, leading to water pools and rising water levels in many areas, which adds a new burden on the displaced in unqualified tents.

The winds are strong and cold, which increases the feeling of cold significantly. It is expected that the speed of wind gusts will exceed 8 km/h at some times, which may lead to negative effects on the camps for the displaced, especially with the weak infrastructure of these camps and the lack of adequate means of protection. The waves are turbulent on the coasts of the Strip, where the height of the waves reaches about 4-5 meters, with a high possibility of sea waves entering the land and coasts, which include a huge number of tents for the displaced.

Waves and severe cold are the biggest danger during the depression

Despite the heavy rains, the greatest danger of the depression on the Gaza Strip lies in the severe cold, strong winds and waves. However, it is expected that the heavy rains will lead to water pools and a rise in the water level in light of the deteriorating difficult living conditions. May God help our brothers in the Gaza Strip. O God, bestow upon them the warmth of your mercy.

And God knows best.
