Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast warm weather to prevail across the country during the hours of daytime.

However, it will be very cold at night in all parts of Egypt.

Light to moderate rain is expected to fall in some districts of greater Cairo and the Delta.

The same conditions of the weather are expected to prevail in the eastern coasts and the middle of the Sinai Peninsula where the heavy rain is expected to convert into torrents.

The range of the Red Sea Mountains and the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula will receive moderate rain and strong winds blow up there

Moderate winds blow up in various parts of the country as the day progresses.

The Mediterranean Sea witnesses moderate conditions and the waves swell to 1,5 -2 meters.

The Red Sea sees moderate to turbulent conditions and the waves swell to 2- 2,5 meters.

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.
