Tropical atmosphere coming to Egypt: a severe heat wave accompanied with chances of thunderstorms!

ArabiaWeather - The latest weather maps readings indicate that the Republic is on a date with the effect of a heat wave gradually increasing over the coming days to become severe during the next week (starting from Saturday, May 16), temperatures rise above the usual rates for this time of the year by more than 10 degrees percentage.

And this wave brings back to mind the intense heat wave that affected Cairo and the Republic in the same month (May), but from last year when the maximum temperature was recorded at Cairo Airport on 24/5/2019 about 45.7 ° C, which is considered a degree Record heat.

And in the details, the temperatures rise above their rates for this time of the year by several degrees on Thursdays and Fridays to prevail in a relatively hot weather in various regions, with the appearance of clouds and clouds and the opportunity for some thunderstorms from rain on Thursday afternoon and that is the aspects of Luxor and Qena and it may reach less Sohag, but in general the winds may be remarkably active with these clouds, causing localized sandstorms. But on Friday, thunderstorm opportunities expand to include all the mountainous hills overlooking the Red Sea (for example near Hurghada and those in the Sinai such as Mount St. Catherine) so it is feared that torrents will form and run out of the valleys in the hours of Friday afternoon, in addition to a large activity in speed The wind.

Saturday ... the actual start of the heat wave on Cairo and the subtropics

As of Saturday, more hot air currents flow into the atmosphere near the surface of the earth and come from both the Arabian Peninsula and the Sudanese lands, which result from an extension of an air depression called the Red Sea depression, so that the temperatures rise significantly in the day of Saturday and approach The 40 ° C barrier in Cairo and many Egyptian cities, as well as exceeding that in the central and southern regions of the Republic. But what is noticeable in this frequently non-recurring weather system is that all this is offset by a rush of sub-tropical air currents in the middle and high atmosphere, which will multiply for clouds and clouds on Saturday afternoon and thunderstorms on most of the highlands of the Red Sea and extend the areas of Luxor and Aswan Sohag and perhaps Assiut and Minya in addition to most of the Sinai highlands. Also, there is even an opportunity for some thunderstorms to extend westward to parts of Cairo, but this possibility requires careful follow-up. These thunderstorms are characterized by being random in nature, but they are heavy and cause valleys to flow and form torrents in a manner that may be dangerous sometimes. In addition, they are often preceded by great activity in wind speeds that may cause local dust storms.

Sunday and Monday ... the intense heat wave and heat above 40 in Cairo and thunderstorms are present!

And as a result of a geothermal deposition over the lands of the Republic, this will drive more high temperature air currents in the atmosphere near the surface of the earth, which leads to a significant increase in temperature significantly on Sunday and Monday and exceeds in Cairo by 40 degrees Celsius in extremely hot and disturbing weather in most regions.

And the air system remains unusual for the Republic until Sunday and Monday, due to the continuation of a rush of sub-tropical air currents in the middle and high atmosphere, which will multiply for clouds and clouds on Sunday and Monday afternoon, and thunderstorms will affect most of the Red Sea heights and extend The districts of Luxor and Sohag, in particular Assiut, Minya and Fayoum in addition to most of the Sinai highlands. Also, there is even an opportunity for some thunderstorms to extend westward to parts of Cairo, but this possibility requires careful follow-up. These thunderstorms are characterized by being random in nature, but they are heavy and cause valleys to flow and form torrents in a manner that may be dangerous sometimes. In addition, they are often preceded by great activity in wind speeds that may cause local dust storms.

Tuesday and Wednesday ... a slight decline in the weight of heat, but the increased chance of thunderstorms for Cairo!

According to the latest weather readings, the indicators indicate a slight decrease in the weight of heat on Tuesday and Wednesday, so that the temperature in Cairo and the surrounding areas does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, but the weather remains nonetheless very hot and troublesome in Cairo and most areas.

And the sub-tropical air system continues to be present as opportunities are expected to be created again for thunderstorms on most of the Red Sea hills and extends the areas of the interior regions that include Aswan, Luxor, Sohag, Minya and Fayoum in addition to most Sinai heights. The opportunity is further improved for some thunderstorms to extend to parts of Cairo. These thunderstorms are characterized by being random in nature, but they are heavy and cause valleys to run and form torrents in a manner that may be dangerous in addition to that they are often preceded by great activity in wind speeds that may cause local dust storms.
