Egypt Set for a Hot, Humid Thursday, Cairo 34°C

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) predicts hot and humid weather will prevail in most of the country during Thursday's daylight hours.

Extremely hot weather is also expected to prevail in the south of the country.

The weather will seem hotter due to the high humidity levels, which will push up the heat index by 1-2 degrees.

The country also witnesses mist, extending into fog, on the agricultural and highway roads from the north of the country to Cairo, Canal Cities, Central Sinai, and North Upper Egypt.

Wind speeds between 30 and 40 (km/h) are expected to occur occasionally in Cairo, Lower Egypt, and the North Coast, stirring up sand and dust in the south of the country and the Red Sea governorate.

There is also a 20% chance of light rainfall prevailing intermittently in the Northwest Coast.

Furthermore, the Mediterranean Sea will experience moderate waves, ranging between 1.5 and 2 meters in height, varying between westerly to northwesterly surface winds.

Waves in the Red Sea will be moderate to turbulent, ranging between 1.5 and 2 meters in height varying between northwest and northeast surface winds.

Moreover, moderate to turbulent maritime conditions are expected in the Gulf of Suez, ranging between 2 and 3 meters in height, with northwest surface winds.

Moderate and humid weather is also expected to prevail in most parts of Egypt at night and in the early morning.

Moderately hot weather is also expected to prevail in South Upper Egypt.

The predicted temperatures for the following cities are 34°C in Cairo, 29°C in Alexandria, 28°C in Marsa Matruh, 37°C in Sohag, 38°C in Qena, and 40°C in Aswan.
