Experts Forecast nice Weather in Egypt on Friday

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast nice weather to prevail in most parts of Egypt over the hours to come of the daytime.

It will be cold at night across the country.

Middle Egypt and the northern parts of Upper Egypt enjoy mild weather throughout the coming hours.

However, it will be hot in Upper Egypt and the other districts near the borderline with the Sudan and the range of mountains of the Red Sea.

Moderate winds blow across the open areas next to the western Desert.

However, they get fresher on the utmost parts of the western coasts overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Both of the Red and the Mediterranean Seas witness moderate conditions, the waves swell to 1.5-2 meters.

The Mediterranean Sea is exposed to surface northeasterly winds and the Red Sea exposes to northwesterly winds.

The Delta of the Nile River and vicinity areas see moderate weather conditions during the few hours to come.

Major temperature degree in Cairo will be 29 Celsius, the minor degree will 16 C at night.

In Luxor, some 900 km south of Cairo, the major temperature degree will be 33 C and the minor one will 17 C.

On the other hand, the coronavirus pandemic may affect the accuracy of the initial weather forecast model output originating from national and global weather prediction centers; this is because of a cutback in the number of aircraft flights that generate vital weather data, according to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and other experts.

The aircraft collect temperature and wind data, among other information, that help improve the initial atmospheric conditions that drive global and regional weather forecast models.

This data is used routinely to improve the forecasts created by national weather prediction centers across the globe.

However, the pandemic has drastically reduced the number of such flights in Europe and increasingly in the U.S. This impact will be a reduction in global forecast performance. For regional models, the impact may be even greater.

“Regional models have the ability to resolve high-impact weather, such as thunderstorms,” said AccuWeathers Scott Mackaro, vice president, Science, Innovation & Development.

Information about the vertical structure of the atmosphere is vital and already sparse. Aircraft measurements provide just that.
