The General Directorate of Civil Protection has issued a warning regarding strong winds expected in coastal and inland regions over the coming hours, following a weather bulletin from the National Meteorological Office.
The bulletin indicated that wind speeds will range between 60 and 80 kilometers per hour, with peaks reaching approximately 120 kilometers per hour in some areas.
In this context, the General Directorate of Civil Protection urged citizens to exercise caution and adhere to a set of preventive measures to avoid domestic and traffic accidents related to weather fluctuations caused by the intensity of the winds.
The authorities emphasized the importance of organizing and securing furniture and sensitive items prone to falling or sliding, and using alternative lighting methods that do not require electricity. They also stressed the need to protect glass elements by firmly closing windows and curtains.
Civil Protection advised staying away from windows, balconies, trees, and power poles, while recommending that cars, animals, and important equipment be placed inside garages or in safe locations.
For road users, speed must be reduced to maintain clear visibility and avoid any obstacles on the road. Approaching the sea, particularly rocky areas, as well as lakes and water bodies, should be avoided.
The construction sector was also warned to secure cranes by positioning them correctly to prevent them from falling due to the wind. When traveling, individuals are advised to follow weather updates and monitor road conditions.
