Arab Weather - The latest satellite images via the Arab Weather app indicate the extension of a belt of thunderstorms extending from the north of Upper Egypt through the regions to the north of the Republic, amid expectations of scattered and sometimes heavy rainfall in some areas.

Regarding the capital, Cairo, computer models indicate that the city may be affected by these thunderstorms during the afternoon or late afternoon hours, with chances of scattered showers, while the areas north of Upper Egypt and the Nile Delta remain more prone to rain and thunderstorms.

This weather condition is also expected to be accompanied by strong downdrafts, sometimes with dust storms, especially in desert and open areas, leading to a temporary decrease in horizontal visibility and an increase in dust on external roads. A drop in temperatures is also expected during the period of influence of the rain cells.

And God knows best.
