The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has released its weather forecast for Sunday, indicating a slight rise in temperatures across most areas. The weather is expected to be moderate in the morning, hot and humid during the day in the northern regions, including Cairo, and extremely hot in the southern Sinai and southern regions. At night, the temperature is expected to drop to moderate levels across most areas.

In addition to the rising temperatures, the Meteorological Authority has warned of dense fog expected to spread across several areas, including roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Cairo, and the Suez Canal cities, from 4 to 8 am. The fog may cause reduced visibility, especially on roads.

The Meteorological Authority has also predicted the possibility of light to moderate rain in several areas, including the northwestern coastal regions and parts of the Western Desert. The rain may be heavy in some areas, such as Salum and Matruh, and may occur at irregular intervals. There is also a slight chance of light rain in the southern coastal regions, which may extend to Cairo.

The Meteorological Authority has warned of strong winds expected to blow across most areas, with speeds ranging from 30 to 35 kilometers per hour. While the winds may provide some relief from the heat, they may also cause sandstorms in some areas, including the northwestern coastal regions and open areas of Cairo.

The authority has also issued a warning about rough sea conditions in some areas of the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, and the Aqaba Gulf. The winds are expected to reach speeds of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, causing waves to reach heights of 2 to 3 meters. Citizens are advised to take necessary precautions and follow updates from the Meteorological Authority.
