The Egyptian Meteorological Authority has warned of another rise in temperatures across most parts of the country, accompanied by continued high humidity levels that will increase the perceived temperature and make daytime conditions feel more oppressive.
Dr. Mahmoud Shaheen, Director General of Forecasting and Early Warning at the Meteorological Authority, provided details about the expected weather conditions and temperatures across Egypt.
Weather Conditions in Egypt Today
The weather will be mildly hot and humid during the early morning, while daytime conditions will be very hot and humid across most parts of the country.
The northern coastal areas will experience hot and humid weather, while nighttime conditions will remain relatively warm and humid across most regions.
High humidity levels will contribute to higher perceived temperatures, making the weather feel hotter than the actual recorded temperatures.
