Cairo to See 38 Degrees on Sunday as Heat Intensifies Across Egypt

Egypt’s Meteorological Authority has forecast another rise in temperatures across the country on Sunday,  with hot and humid conditions dominating most regions.

It added that Cairo is expected to reach 38°C, while Upper Egypt will see extreme highs of 44°C in Qena and Aswan.

According to Mahmoud Shaheen, Director of Forecasting and Early Warning at the Meteorological Authority, low to medium clouds will appear over parts of northern Egypt, extending to Greater Cairo.

Morning fog is likely from 8:00 to 8:40 a.m. in northern areas, including Greater Cairo, and could be dense at times, particularly on roads leading to and from the northern coast, the Nile Delta, Central Sinai, and the Suez Canal cities.
