The Alexandria Port Authority on Monday decided to keep the Alexandria and Dekheila straits closed for the third day in a row due to bad weather and high wind velocity.

The decision is meant to prevent any collision of ships and ensure safety of maritime navigation, said Spokesman for the Alexandria Port Authority Reda el Ghandour. 

Alexandria was hit by a noticeable decrease in temperature, high wind velocity and gale-force waves.

Alexandria security bodies have taken needed measures to deal with possible rainfall.
