BEIRUT — Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi on Tuesday evening advised the population not to walk on the streets and asked them to take great caution as a storm accompanied by winds of more than 90 kilometers per hour is expected in the coming hours, his office said in a statement.

Here’s what we know:

    • The bad weather, which is expected to begin Tuesday night and continue until Wednesday evening, “could cause the fall of billboards, trees and poles, and thus constitute a risk for public health,” said Mawlawi. The minister also asked people to be vigilant about where they park their vehicles overnight.

    • The minister also recommended securing all objects that could fly away due to strong winds, including solar panels on the roofs of buildings.
