Experts of the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) expect temperature degrees to rise slightly today.

Nice weather is forecast to prevail in the northern coasts next to the Mediterranean and the water bodies connected to it.

But it would be hot damp weather in the Delta and Cairo up to the Middle Egypt.

Upper Egypt would be exposed to very hot weather over daytime.

However, it would be nice at night across the country.

Mist would shorten range of visibility in the northern parts.

Lower clouds would hang over the northern coasts.

Moderate northwesterly winds would blow up in the open parts.

They would get fresher on the southern tip of Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea.

Strong winds would disturb navigation in the Red Sea and  the Gulf of Suez.

The Mediterranean Sea would  see normal conditions today.

Waves swell to 1-2 meters and horizontal northwesterly winds blow up there.

On the other hand, the Red Sea would witness moderate to turbulent conditions and waves swell to 2.5-3 meters.

Although different regions experience different weather patterns, Egypt has an arid desert climate and is generally both hot and sunny. As part of the northern hemisphere, seasons in Egypt follow much the same pattern as in Europe and North America, with winter falling between November and January, and the peak summer months falling between June and August.

Winters are generally mild, although temperatures can fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius) at night. In the Western Desert, record lows have dipped below freezing during the winter months. Most regions have very little precipitation regardless of the season, although Cairo and areas of the Nile Delta may experience a few rainy days during winter.

Summers can be unbearably hot, especially in the desert and other areas of the country's interior. In Cairo, average summer temperatures regularly exceed 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius), while the record high for Aswan, a popular tourist destination on the banks of the River Nile, is 124 degrees Fahrenheit (51 degrees Celsius). Summer temperatures remain high at the coast but are made more tolerable by regular cool breezes.
