Governorates – Masrawy:
A number of Egyptian cities are preparing to receive the major flash flood, which is expected to be accompanied by heavy rains and strong winds, making it the talk of the hour among residents of coastal cities.
The major flood usually begins on January 12 and continues for approximately 6-7 days, as it leads to the disruption of maritime navigation, due to high waves, the accumulation of rainwater, which causes traffic crises, and low temperatures, which increases the suffering of the population, especially the groups most vulnerable to cold. .
Cities affected by the nucleus
Alexandria is considered the city most vulnerable to the effects of hydrothermia, due to its direct location on the northern coast, and the city’s infrastructure faces major challenges in draining heavy rainwater, which leads to water accumulating in the streets and disrupting traffic.
Damietta is also affected by strong winds, as the city’s coastal location makes it vulnerable to strong strong winds, which negatively affect ship movement and fishing, and the port of Damietta is one of the vital facilities that temporarily stops during strong winds.
In addition to Alexandria and Damietta, the city of Rosetta, located at the mouth of the Nile River, is affected by the Nawa, making it vulnerable to strong tidal waves that are exacerbated by the strong winds of the Great Silver Nawa.
Likewise, Port Said, due to its strategic location on the Mediterranean, is also affected by strong winds and high waves that sometimes impede navigation in the Suez Canal.
Matrouh Governorate, due to its open coastal nature, also witnesses a direct influence from the northwesterly winds associated with the Greater Silver Nawa.
The General Meteorological Authority expected today to witness chances of light rain falling on areas of the northeastern coast and northern Lower Egypt, and wind activity in the far western regions at intermittent intervals.
