Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecast nice weather to prevail across Egypt over hours of the daytime of Saturday.

It would be cold at night when temperature degrees slide significantly, especially before the daybreak.

Heavy mist would reduce range of visibility in the early morning the northern districts up to Middle Egypt.

Lower and medium-dragged clouds would hang over the northern coasts next to the Mediterranean Sea (MS) and water bodies linked to it.

Moderate northeasterly winds would blow through the country but they become fresher over the Gulf of Suez where they disturb navigation there.

The Mediterranean Sea would see light to moderate conditions and waves swell to 1-1.5 meters.

The sea would be exposed to surface northeasterly winds over hours to come.

On the other hand, the Red Sea would witness moderate conditions and waves swell to 1.5-2 meters.

It is worth mentioning that winter comes to Egypt be the fourth week of December.

Temperature degrees drop then and daytime shortens to some 10 hours approximately.

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.
