EMA Urges People to Stay Home to Avoid Broken Weather

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority ( EMA) warns the citizens of  a spell of  broken weather that prevails next days

The experts urged people to stay home owing to changeable weather which is expected to prevail through the country until Sunday.

Mahmud Shaheen, Director of Meteorological Analysis at EMA, said that Egypt has witnessed a spell of lousy weather which has started on Wednesday.

He added during a telephone call to Extra News Satellite Channel, that Wednesday and Thursday saw a spell of unstable weather.

Temperature degrees significantly in the Delta, Cairo, and Giza along with the various governorates across the country.

Shaheen added that the fresher winds make the people feel colder.

Clouds accumulate over most districts and there are chances to rainfall over the next days.

He pointed out that Cairo and Giza received light to moderate rain this morning.

He forecast that the northern coasts and the Delta will receive more rain over the days to come.

Director of the Meteorological Analysis advises people to wear thick clothing when they are outdoor and drive the vehicles calmly on the roads near water bodies and farmland in various parts of the country.

The period of sunshine will increase and the speed of the winds reduces in most parts.

Because her boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to Sudan in the south, its 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.
