Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expect heavy, thunder rain to fall today  in the northern districts near the Mediterranean Sea and the Delta.

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

There are chances to rain heavily in some northern districts, Delta and Cairo during hours to come.

Sinai Peninsula and the Middle Egypt would be exposed to doses of rain over daytime hours.

The experts of EMA warn that Sinai would see torrents in the mountainous inner parts.

On the other hand, the experts forecast nice weather to prevail in the northern coasts next the Mediterranean Sea and the weather bodies connected to it.

The same conditions would prevail in Cairo, the Delta and the Middle Egypt.

Upper Egypt sees weather is expected to be hot over daytime time.

It would be balmy weather across the country at the first hours of night.

But it would be cold at the small hours and after dawn.

Thick mist would reduce range of visibility in the early morning in some parts of the country.

Moderate northwesterly winds would blow in the western desert and get fresher over the northern coasts and Delta. This would disturb navigation in the Mediterranean Sea within hours.

The sea would experience moderate to rough conditions and waves swell to 2-2.5 meters.

However, the Red Sea would witness moderate conditions and waves swell to 1.5-2 meters.

Egypt is four times the size of the United Kingdom.

Because its boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the 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.

That Egypt is one of the hottest and sunniest countries on the face of the Earth is hardly any great surprise.

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 in excess of 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.
