Experts Forecast Stable Weather on Friday

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority ( EMA) forecast stable weather to prevail across the country on Friday.

Temperature degrees rise by 4 C as of today.

Dr. Mahmud Shaheen, Director of Meteorological Forecast at EMA, said that today’s weather will be stable as the day progresses.

He added that stable weather will continue until the day after tomorrow.

However, temperature degrees will return to normal levels at that time of the year by Monday.

There will be chances to light rain to fall in Cairo and the Delta on  Sunday.

Dr. Shaheen pointed out that thick fog hang over the roads near to the water bodies in the northern part of the country.

He advises people to wear thick clothing at night.

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.
