Low air pressure and sea that is blown into the country makes high tides are particularly high. We get what is called storm surge. Along with waves up to 20 meters it can do great damage to the buildings and wharves along the beaches.
When the wind passes the mountain becomes very turbulent, and the Eastern region may experience strong gusts. According to Meteorological Department, they can reach 35-50 meters per second. Strongest in the mountains.
