Arab Weather - A low pressure system accompanied by a cold air mass is centered east of the island of Cyprus, pushing active northwesterly winds accompanied by strong gusts on the shores of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and the gusts reach speeds of more than 50 km/hour starting from Monday/Tuesday night and during the day on Tuesday.

This will cause a large and sharp rise in waves on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, such that the wave height will exceed two and a half meters and approach 3 meters. There will also be a rise and disturbance in the waves on the shores of the Red Sea, with a height that may exceed 2 meters, instead of the disturbance of the waves in the Suez Canal, but to a lesser extent than on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

Therefore, ships and small boats must be warned of the danger of strong winds and waves expected to hit the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and, to a lesser extent, the Red Sea, due to the repercussions of this on the movement and safety of maritime navigation in such difficult weather conditions.

And God knows best.
