Weather Alert for Egypt’s Coastal Regions
The General Authority for Meteorology has made a significant weather announcement for Egypt. Current satellite images reveal a build-up of low and medium clouds over parts of Matrouh Governorate, leading to varying intensities of rainfall, particularly as the day progresses.
According to a meteorological spokesperson, there is an anticipated drop in temperatures, ranging from two to three degrees Celsius across the Nile Delta and Greater Cairo. The increasing winds will likely enhance the chill factor, making it feel colder.
Additionally, light showers may occur in Alexandria, Beheira, and Kafr El Sheikh, though the intensity of the rain is expected to increase in Matrouh tomorrow. Widespread fog is also expected, especially during the early morning hours in the northern regions, significantly reducing visibility.
The Mediterranean Sea’s condition is projected to be moderate, with wave heights between 1.5 to 2 meters and northwesterly winds. The Gulf of Suez will experience similar moderate conditions, with wave heights from 1 to 1.5 meters and also facing northwesterly winds.
Residents are urged to exercise caution while driving in foggy conditions and to dress warmly at night due to the severe drop in temperatures. Stay updated with the latest forecasts as weather conditions may change rapidly.
Forecasted temperatures for today:
– Cairo: 10° – 23°
– Alexandria: 13° – 19°
– Matrouh: 13° – 17°
– Sharm El Sheikh: 16° – 22°
