On July 21, 2026, the Hydrometeorological Directorate (HMD) monitored wind conditions across 47 designated measuring stations using its National Automatic Meteorological Station network. The monitoring revealed elevated levels of wind gusts, with some readings approaching historical records. The data collected detailed varying intensities of the wind across the network.
Specifically, twelve stations reported strong wind gusts ranging from 62 to 88 km/h. An additional six stations recorded strong gusts between 88 and 102 km/h, while one station registered gusts between 102 and 117 km/h. The most intense measurements were captured at three automatic meteorological stations, which reported strong wind gusts exceeding 118 km/h.
At the remaining measuring stations, the recorded wind gusts were below 62 km/h. The HMD noted that, by wind gust classification, speeds surpassing 118 km/h qualify as a hurricane, indicating an extremely strong wind event. These comprehensive measurements provide critical data regarding the current atmospheric conditions and the intensity of the observed wind gusts across the monitored area.
