Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expect cold weather to prevail in the northern coasts next to the Mediterranean Sea and the other water bodies connected to it over hours of daytime.

Those conditions extend to Cairo and its surroundings.

It will be nice weather in the three governorates of Middle Egypt but it will be warmish in Upper Egypt.

Chilly weather is expected to pervade across the country at night.

Frost forms on plants in the middle section of the Sinai Peninsula.

The Mediterranean Sea sees moderate conditions throughout daytime and waves swell to 2-2.5 meters.

Meanwhile, the Red Sea sees the same conditions but surface northerly western conditions blow up there.

warn that the next 48 hours will see rainy weather in most parts of the country.

Lower and medium-dragger clouds accumulate over the eastern and northern districts.

The northern coasts, some patches of the Delta and Cairo are expected to doses of light to moderate rain.

Strong winds hit the northern coasts and cause disturbance of navigation of the Mediterranean Sea.

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 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 the 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.
