Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast warmish weather to prevail in the northern coasts next to the Mediterranean Sea and the water bodies connected to it in the northern tip of the country.

It will be warm in Upper Egypt over hours of daytime.

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

Lower and medium-dragged clouds hang over the northern districts and rain is expected to fall in the northern coasts.

Thick mist reduces the range of visibility in the early morning in the northern parts of the country up to Middle Egypt.

The EMA issued a statement saying that moderate winds blow up in most parts but they will get fresher over the south of Sinai and the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea where navigation is disturbed.

The Mediterranean Sea witnesses normal conditions and the waves swell to 1.5-2 meters.

Surface moderate northwesterly winds blow up there.

On the other hand, the Red Sea sees rough conditions and the waves swell to 2.5-3 meters.

The sea exposes to surface northwesterly windows during hours to come.

Egypt is four times the size of the United Kingdom.

Because its boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to 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 exceeding 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.
