Experts Forecast Rain in Northern Coasts on Saturday

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast rain to fall heavily in the northern coasts next the Mediterranean Sea and lakes connected to it over hours to come.

Mild weather is expected to prevail in the Delta, Cairo and the Middle Egypt.

Upper Egypt would see somehow hot conditions over daytime.

It would incline to be cold at night across the country.

Thick mist would reduce range of visibility in the early morning in the northern districts.

Lower and medium-dragged clouds would accumulate over the northern parts.

There are chances to rain in the northern coasts and Sinai Peninsula.

The Delta and Cairo would receive doses of light rain on Saturday.

Most parts of the country would be exposed to moderate northwesterly winds but they get fresher over the Gulf of Suez and the Mediterranean where they disturb navigation there.

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.

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.
