Attention to residents of the eastern region
Although it will be clear most of the day and partly overcast at other times, people who live in the eastern region should prepare for the possibility of rain in the afternoon because of the development of convective clouds.
It is anticipated that the wind will be light to moderate and blow from the southeast, but it is also anticipated that the wind will shift at times, causing dust to blow with a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour.
When a low-pressure region is accompanied with thunderstorms that produce a circular wind flow with maximum sustained speeds of less than 62 kilometers per hour, this is the formation of a tropical depression. When the cyclonic circulation gets more organized and there are maximum sustained winds of over 63 kilometers per hour, it is elevated to the status of a tropical storm.
