Arab Weather - Arab Weather experts confirmed that according to the latest computer simulation readings and satellite images, it is clear that a very cold air mass of polar origin is rushing towards southern Europe and North Africa, which brings significant changes to the weather conditions represented by strong winds and heavy rainfall in low-lying areas, in the form of snow on the mountains.

How will the low pressure affect Egypt in the coming days?

Egypt is affected by the dry part of the depression due to its center being far from Egypt , and this is in the form of active southwesterly winds, with strong gusts that stir up sand in many areas, including Greater Cairo and desert roads, causing a significant decrease in horizontal visibility, especially in the northwestern regions of the republic, and the winds are also laden with dust carried from Libyan lands.
