The Egyptian Meteorological Department has issued a warning about a low-pressure system that is expected to affect the country, bringing with it a range of weather phenomena, including rain and thunderstorms. According to Dr. Manar Ghoneim, a meteorologist, the country is experiencing the typical weather fluctuations associated with the start of autumn. As the summer season comes to an end and autumn begins, the country is witnessing various weather patterns, with significant differences in temperatures between day and night.
Dr. Ghoneim explained that the low-pressure system has already brought rain to some areas, including the provinces of Alexandria and Matruh. She added that the coming hours are expected to see continued rain in coastal areas along the Mediterranean Sea, with the rain ranging from light to moderate and potentially thunderstorms. The areas most affected are expected to be the northwestern coast, northern coastal areas, and northern Delta.
The meteorologist warned that the rain in some areas could be heavy, particularly in places like El Alamein, Alexandria, and northern Delta. She also noted that while the rain in other areas would be light, it could still extend to southern coastal areas, the Suez Gulf, and canal cities. The warning comes as the country is still in the first half of the autumn season, which is characterized by unstable weather patterns.
Dr. Ghoneim emphasized that the country is still experiencing significant temperature differences between day and night, with temperatures expected to rise during the day and drop significantly at night. She advised people to take necessary precautions, especially those who are out and about during late night or early morning hours, to protect themselves from the sudden drop in temperature.
The Meteorological Department has warned that the temperature differences are expected to increase in the coming period, with daytime temperatures expected to be warm and sunny, while nighttime temperatures will be significantly cooler. This is particularly relevant for people who are sensitive to temperature changes or who have health conditions that may be affected by sudden changes in temperature.
In terms of specific weather forecasts, Dr. Ghoneim noted that the coastal areas are expected to experience the most significant weather changes, with thunderstorms and heavy rain expected in some areas. She also emphasized the importance of taking necessary precautions to ensure safety and prevent accidents, especially on the roads and in areas prone to flooding.
The Egyptian Meteorological Department is urging citizens to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property from the expected weather conditions. The department is working closely with relevant authorities to monitor the situation and provide updates and warnings as necessary.
