Experts Warn of Spell of Broken Weather Next Days

Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) warn of a spell of broken weather to prevail over the days run from Saturday to Wednesday.

Light to moderate rain is expected to fall on the northern coasts and some districts of the Delta.

However, some areas in the Sinai Peninsula, cities next to the Canal of Suez, Upper Egypt and the range of mountains of the Red Sea receive heavy rain.

The EMA issued a statement says that the temperature degrees slide by3-4 C to lesser than the average of that time of the year.

Strong winds get fresher in the northern parts of the country and Middle Egypt.

The winds make people feel colder and disturb navigation in both the Red and Mediterranean Seas.

EMA urges the officials to take necessary measurements to diminish the negative fallouts of the changeable weather.

The period of sunshine will increase and the speed of the winds reduces in most parts.

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.
