Egypt to see severe weather fluctuations this weekend

Meteorologists anticipate sharp and rapid weather fluctuations during the weekend, as Egypt will be exposed to a polar depression and thunderstorms.

 

Temperatures will reach a low of 11C at night for the first time this time of the year in northern Upper Egypt.

 

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority explained that this bout of unstable weather would begin next Thursday, with temperatures expected to reach 23C over Cairo during daylight hours accompanied by heavy rain, hail in different regions in the northern parts of the country, and freezing weather at night.

 

It is expected that the mist will spread during the early hours of the morning, and will cause a decrease in visibility on roads.

 

Fogs are expected in central Sinai, Lower Egypt, and the northern coasts.

 

Meteorologists advised civilians to be careful and drive slowly during daylight hours until eight in the morning due to the mists, leave safe distances between cars to prevent accidents, and turn on car lights.

 

Meteorologists also warned of low temperatures during the night hours and urged citizens to wear heavy clothes during the late hours of the night and early morning hours.

 

Waves in the Mediterranean Sea will be low to moderate, ranging between one and 1.75 meters in height with northeastern to southeastern surface winds.

 

Waves in the Red Sea will be moderate, ranging between 1.5 and two meters in height with northeastern to northwestern surface winds.
