The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) has announced that mild weather will prevail across most parts of Egypt through Saturday. However, Upper Egypt will remain hot, while the south will experience very hot conditions. This forecast is expected to bring relief to many parts of the country, with temperatures rising around midday before easing towards evening.

Mornings and nights are expected to remain relatively pleasant, with morning mist likely to occur on some roads leading to and from northern Egypt, Greater Cairo, the Canal cities, central Sinai, and northern Upper Egypt. This mist may cause reduced visibility, and motorists are advised to exercise caution while driving.

There is a possibility of light rain from Tuesday through Thursday over parts of the northwestern coast and the Nile Delta, with showers occurring intermittently. Additionally, winds are expected to become intermittently active from Tuesday through Saturday across most parts of the country, helping to moderate conditions, particularly in shaded areas and at night in some exposed areas.

The EMA has forecast daytime temperatures in Greater Cairo and the Nile Delta to range between 32°C and 33°C over the next five days. The North Coast and Alexandria are expected to remain mild, with temperatures ranging between 26°C and 29°C. These temperatures are relatively pleasant, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities.

However, northern Upper Egypt will be warmer, with temperatures ranging from 33°C to 35°C, while southern Upper Egypt will see much hotter conditions, with temperatures reaching 39°C to 41°C. These high temperatures may pose a risk to people, especially the elderly and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

The EMA has also warned of the possibility of strong winds, which may cause sandstorms and reduced visibility. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions and stay informed about the latest weather forecasts. The authority has also urged people to stay hydrated and take regular breaks, especially when working outdoors.

The mild weather is expected to continue through Saturday, bringing relief to many parts of the country. The EMA will continue to monitor the weather conditions and provide updates as necessary. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed about the latest weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
