Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority ( EMA) forecast cold and rainy weather to prevail in the northern parts of the country over hours of the daytime on Saturday.

Minor temperature degree in Cairo and the near areas will be 8 C.

It will be chilly weather at night across the country.

Frost accumulates on plants in the middle section of the Sinai Peninsula and patche4d in Middle Egypt.

Lower and medium-dragged clouds hang over the northern parts of the country.

There are chances to heavy and thunder rain to fall in northern coasts and districts of the Delta.

Cairo and the surrounding parts will receive light doses of rain within hours to come.

Northwesterly winds get fresher in the open areas to stir dust and sand there.

The strong winds cause disturbance of navigation in both the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

The Mediterranean Sea experiences moderate to rough conditions, waves swell to 2-2.5 meters and the wind will be surface northwesterly there.

The Red Sea sees rough conditions during the hours of the daytime.

Egypt enjoys a moderate climate on most days of the year.

Because its 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 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.
