The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) warned of hot weather on Wednesday, August 3, as the temperature in Cairo is expected to record 38C.
Temperatures during August will witness fluctuating weather temperatures, so the country may be exposed to heat waves during the coming days, Manar Ghanem, Director of the Media Office of the EMA, said.
Ghanem explained that the high humidity levels cause a feeling of hotter temperatures compared to July, with values up to 3C.
Ghanem attributed floods that hit Saudi Arabia and the UAE to the pressure distributions that affect the Gulf countries, in addition to climatic changes, the main cause of critical climate phenomena.
Meteorologists advised citizens not
to get exposed to the sun directly, especially for elderly citizens during peak
hours from 1 pm to 5 pm. They advised wearing loose cotton clothes, drinking
water and cold drinks, and to avoid sitting in poorly ventilated places.
