Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast weather temperature to slide across the country this morning.

They also pointed out that both Cairo and Giza governorates received light doses of rain a few hours earlier.

The EMA has issued a statement says that a spell of lousy weather hits Egypt over the 72 hours to come.

Temperature degrees are expected to go down at least by 6 C.

Stronger winds disturb navigation and fishing activities in the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

The winds also cause the weather to seem colder in the course of the three coming days.

There are chances to rainfall on the northern coasts, the Delta up to Cairo and its surrounding areas.

Heavy rain is expected to fall on the northern coasts next to the Mediterranean Sea and the other water bodies connected to it.

The experts advise people to wear thick clothing, especially in the early morning as they go outdoors.

They also recommend that motorists be more cautious during the rainfall lest the vehicles slide on the watery roads.

Mahmud Shaheen, Director of Meteorological Forecast at the EMA, revealed that the spell of changeable weather will run until the morning of the day after tomorrow.

He warns that the peak of that spell takes place today and tomorrow.

There are bigger chances for rainfall in the capital.

Shaheen added that as of Monday weather conditions will improve gradually as chances of rainfall reduce significantly and temperature degrees will be around the normal average at that time of year.

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.
