Arab Weather - According to the Arab Weather Regional Center's weather maps for air mass distribution and atmospheric pressure, Egypt will be affected by a deep Khamaseen depression starting Monday/Tuesday night, which will intensify on Tuesday and push more hot air currents towards the country. Therefore, temperatures will further rise, peaking during the afternoon and evening hours of tomorrow, Tuesday. Temperatures will be 12-14 degrees Celsius higher than their average for this time of year.

Khamaseen weather conditions will prevail, with the weather generally being hot to extremely hot and dusty, with maximum temperatures approaching 40°C in most areas, including Greater Cairo.

Active southwesterly winds are blowing, with strong gusts reaching 80 km/h, leading to dust storms in several areas, particularly the Canal cities and the Sinai Peninsula, extending to the East Coast cities and neighborhoods of Greater Cairo.

The Khamaseen depression is gradually moving away, and temperatures will noticeably drop on Tuesday/Wednesday night.

The Khamaseen depression will gradually move away from Egypt on Tuesday/Wednesday night, but the weather will remain drier and warmer than usual during the night hours. The weather will remain dusty to varying degrees in many areas of the north of the country during the evening and early night hours.

As the night progresses, the country is affected by humid northwesterly air currents. As a result, temperatures drop significantly, and the weather tends to moderate in many areas. Surface humidity levels rise significantly, with fog forming in parts of the country's north.

The winds will be southeasterly, turning to northwesterly as the night progresses, causing dust storms in desert areas.

A significant drop in temperatures on Thursday is expected to be 10 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures will drop significantly on Thursday, by 10 degrees Celsius in the capital, Cairo, and will be lower than average for this time of year. The weather will be spring-like and warm in the northern regions of the country, including northern Upper Egypt, and relatively hot in the rest of the country. Winds will be northwesterly and moderate in speed, sometimes active, and may cause dust storms in desert areas.

Important recommendations from Arab Weather:

  • Beware of the risks of increased dust levels in the atmosphere and their impact on patients with respiratory and eye diseases.
  • Beware of the possibility of reduced horizontal visibility on desert roads due to dust.
  • Beware of noticeable temperature differences.

And God knows best.
