Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expect warm weather to prevail in Egypt over the hours of the daytime.

However, it will be very cold at night, especially during the small hours ahead of dawn break.

Heavy fog hangs over the northern parts of the country in the morning.

Moderate winds blow up over Cairo and its vicinity.

The Delta witnesses the same weather conditions during the daytime and night.

The western coasts see moderate weather conditions as the day progresses.

Both the Red and the Mediterranean Sea witness moderate conditions, the waves swell to 1,5-2 meters and the northwesterly winds blow up there.

The EMA has issued a statement says that the major degree in Cairo will be 21 C within the hours to come but it will be 11 C 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.
