Daytime highs are expected to range between 29-30C, while nighttime lows will fall to around 19C. The temperature drop is expected to be noticeable, bringing a welcome relief from the hot weather. The EMA has also warned of morning mist on roads leading to and from the north of the country, including routes passing through Greater Cairo, the Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution and adhere to traffic regulations during periods of reduced visibility due to the morning mist. The mist is expected to occur between four am and eight am. Drivers should be prepared for the challenging conditions and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety on the roads. The EMA's warning aims to minimize disruptions and prevent accidents.
