The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecasts continued weather fluctuations across several regions, with chances of rain and noticeable wind activity.
The EMA explained that the weather will be mild to cool at night and in the early morning, while growing slightly hot during the day in most areas and hotter in Upper Egypt.
Weather maps predict a chance of light to moderate rain in scattered areas along the northern coast, which may be thundery at times, with a probability of approximately 20 percent.
There is also a slight chance of rain extending to some areas of Lower Egypt and the Gulf of Suez.
Wind activity is expected across most of the country, with speeds ranging between 30 to 40 km/h. These winds may stir up sand and dust, particularly in Upper Egypt, Sinai, and some exposed areas.
The Meteorological Authority warned of the possibility of strong winds associated with thunderstorms, with a chance of lightning and hail in some areas.
The Authority urged citizens to stay updated and take the necessary precautions, especially those driving during periods of fog and dust storms.
