Weather of Arabia- Antonios Mekhiel on Tuesday 24/02/2020 :

 

The latest satellite imagery updates indicate thunderstorms of rain falling on the city of Cairo and parts of North Upper Egypt accompanying the movement of the depression, which affects the country and extends the chances of rain until evening hours of the day.

 

It is also expected that the rains will extend to most of the canal cities and the northern Red Sea with thunderstorms of heavy rains sometimes, including the downpours in central and southern Sinai with heavy thunderstorms and chances of hail, as well as the opportunity to accumulate snow on the heights of South Sinai.

Lightnings on Cairo and parts of Upper Egypt

The situation is accompanied by active winds that cause dust on some desert areas, especially the Hurghada-Zaafarana-Cairo road. It works to reduce the horizontal visibility range.

 

The state of the Red Sea is vulnerable due to the unstable weather and active winds, which disrupts the traffic and most of the marine activities in the northern Red Sea.

 

Warnings:

1 - We ask the gentlemen of drivers on the desert roads, especially in the east of the country, to guard against the raised soil and heavy rains

2- Gentlemen, climbers of South Sinai heights and outdoor flights, the atmosphere is not suitable, which may cause danger to lives.

3- Gentlemen, fishermen and those who are in charge of the navigation movement, please note, especially that the situation is thunderous
