Experts Forecast Cold Weather on Saturday

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast cold weather to prevail over the hours of the daytime in the northern coasts, the Delta, the middle section of the Sinai Peninsula and Cairo.

It will be nice weather in Middle Egypt in the course of the daytime.

However, it will be chilly at night across the country.

The experts expect light rain to fall in disperse patches of the greater Cairo and the Delta.

Moderate winds blow up in Cairo, the Delta, south Sinai and range of mountains of the Red Sea.

Strong winds disturb navigation in the Mediterranean Sea, which witnesses rough conditions and the waves swell to 2,5-3 meters.

On the other hand, the Red Sea witnesses moderate to rough conditions and the waves swell to 2-2,5 meters.

The major temperature degree in Cairo will be 17 C and the minor will be 17 C.

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, Egypt’s 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.
