Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast weather to be hot n the northern coasts next the Mediterranean Sea (MS) over hours of daytime.

It would be hot in the Delta and Cairo.

But Upper Egypt, Red Sea range of mountain and areas bordering Sudan would be exposed to very hot weather.

At night it would be nice weather across the country.

Visibility would be reduced in the morning due to heavy mist especially in the northern districts near the Mediterranean Sea and other water bodies connected to it.

Lower and medium –dragged clouds would hang over the northern parts of the country.

Northwesterly winds would get fresher in the western parts of the MS’s coasts, Middle Egypt and the south tip of Sinai Peninsula along with the Gulf of Suez.

The Mediterranean Sea would see moderate conditions and the waves swell to 1.5-2 meters.

On the other hand, the Red Sea would witness moderate to rough conditions and waves swell to 2-2.5 meters.

It is worth to mention that major temperature degree in Cairo  will be 34 Celsius over hours to come

Egypt among other nations exposed to fallout of climate change.

Egypt is four times the size of the United Kingdom.

Because its boundaries extend from the Mediterranean Sea in the north to the Sudan in the south, its climate varies greatly. But 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.

That Egypt is one of the hottest and sunniest countries on the face of the Earth is hardly any great surprise.

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 in excess of 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.

Taking everything into consideration, the most favorable months to visit Egypt are likely to be November and early March. These months are generally not too hot and daytime temperature unlikely to exceed the low 30 degrees Celsius.
