EMA: Dire Weather Holds for Second Day in Egypt

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) warn that the spell of dire weather holds for the second day in a row.

That snap of broken weather began yesterday as the various parts of the country exposed to heavy rain and strong winds.

The experts affirm that conditions will continue tomorrow then the weather is expected to become clear by Sunday.

The EMA released a statement says that downpours hit the northern coasts, the Delta, cities in the Suez Canal zone.

Torrents is forecast in the Sinai Peninsula and patches of the Red Sea range of mountains along with the furthermost southern part of the country.

Strong and dust-laden winds blow up across the most parts of Egypt and they convert into storms in the Red Sea Government and the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula.

Navigation in the Red and Mediterranean Seas was disturbed due to the strong winds.

Temperature degrees slide significantly on Friday.

Meteorologists affirm that such a spell of broken weather hasn’t hit the country since 1994.

The streets across the country seemed ghostly as there are chances for heavy rain as the day progresses.

Lower and medium-dragged clouds hang over various parts of Egypt.

Muddy and dirty water makes puddles in the streets of Alexandria especially in the slums where sanitarium network deteriorated.

Water goes high the 90th Street in the Fifth Settlement  area, north east to Cairo.

Cars were broken in that superb district and owners left them there.

Because her boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to Sudan in the south, Egypt’s climate varies greatly.

Although some tourists venture into the searing heat of the Sahara desert, most confine their travels to the Red Sea coast and the Valley of the Nile.

Around Alexandria and the resorts that fringe the Mediterranean, summertime temperatures usually peak at around 31 Celsius (87F) but further south, in Aswan, temperatures average 41 Celsius (106F).

Although there can be a few wet days each month along the Mediterranean coast, much of Egypt experiences little or no rainfall.

So, with sunshine averaging eight to 10 hours each day in the winter and as much as 12 hours in the summer, tourists can base their choice of time to visit solely on the likely temperatures.

With summer temperatures exceeding 35 Celsius (95F), touring sites around Cairo can be very uncomfortable.

But it should also be pointed out that January and February can be quite chilly months in Cairo and along the northern half of Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

Dust-laden winds may affect almost any part of the country between late March and June. These can give some very unpleasant conditions at times.
