Egypt's heat continues: Prepare for scorching Thursday with dust and mist
Expect extremely hot conditions during the day across Greater Cairo, the Nile Delta, South Sinai, and southern Egypt. Northern coastal areas will experience hot and humid weather, while most regions will be warm and humid at night.
The EMA also noted that morning mist (fog) is anticipated across northern Egypt, extending to Greater Cairo. It could be dense at times over parts of the northwestern coast and northern Nile Delta. Additionally, winds are expected in parts of South Upper Egypt and South Sinai, potentially stirring up sand and dust intermittently in the cities of Halayeb and Shalateen.
Regarding marine conditions, the Mediterranean Sea will be slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 1 to 1.75 meters and surface winds blowing from the northwest to southwest. The Red Sea will also be slight to moderate, with wave heights between 1 and 1.75 meters and surface winds from the northwest to northeast.
The EMA warned that the severe heatwave will persist across most areas. The expected high temperature for Greater Cairo today is 40 degrees Celsius, while South Upper Egypt will reach 43 degrees Celsius.

Heat eases in Cairo as southern Egypt swelters under 42°C highs - Society
Temperatures have started to fall in northern Egypt following a week of intense heat, offering some relief to residents in Greater Cairo and parts of Upper Egypt, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). In the capital and surrounding areas, daytime highs are expected to hover around 34 degrees Celsius, while coastal cities along the Mediterranean will see milder conditions closer to 30 degrees. But the heat remains unrelenting in southern Egypt, where temperatures are forecast to reach up to 42 degrees — continuing a scorching spell that has gripped the region for weeks. Northern Upper Egypt will also stay hot, with highs of 38 degrees. Nights are expected to be relatively warm but more tolerable, helped in part by active winds sweeping across much of the country. However, gusts may stir up sand and dust in parts of the Western Desert. Early morning fog is likely to form on roads in and out of Cairo, the Canal Cities, and parts of Sinai, potentially reducing visibility for drivers. There's also a chance of light rain in the far south, with brief showers forecast in Halayeb and Shalateen on Sunday and Monday. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
