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

Hot and humid weather is also expected to prevail in the North Coast.

The weather will seem hotter due to the high humidity levels, which will push up the heat index by 2-4 degrees.
