The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has revealed the expected weather conditions across the country, stating that it will be warm during the day in Greater Cairo and Lower Egypt, moderate on the northern coasts, and hot in southern Egypt and South Sinai. Nighttime and early morning weather will be mild in most areas.
The EMA announced that starting next Sunday, the country will experience the effects of a 'Khamaseen depression,' with wind activity across most regions. These winds will stir up sand and dust in open areas, and a heatwave will affect the country, with temperatures rising above average in most locations.
The EMA urged individuals with chest and sinus allergies to wear masks, stay indoors, and avoid open spaces to prevent inhaling dust.
Today's weather will include a chance of light rain in areas of the northwestern coasts and northern Lower Egypt at intermittent intervals.
Weather maps indicate wind activity in South Sinai and southern Egypt, which may stir up sand and dust in parts of the Red Sea mountain ranges at intermittent intervals.
Cairo's high will be 26 degrees Celsius with a low of 16 degrees Celsius, while 6th of October City will see a high of 27 degrees Celsius and a low of 17 degrees Celsius.
