Egypt: An unusual Khamaseen depression at this time is accompanied by significant weather fluctuations.

Arab Weather - The impact of the extremely hot air mass is expected to intensify in Egypt in the coming days, peaking in Greater Cairo on Monday, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. The weather will be extremely hot and generally exhausting, God willing, with increased dust levels in the atmosphere.

Sunday: The approach of the Khamaseen depression, the increasing influence of the extremely hot air mass, and a rise in temperatures.

In detail, God willing, the impact of the cold weather on Egypt is expected to increase on Sunday, so temperatures will rise significantly, becoming 4-6 degrees Celsius higher than their average for this time of year. The weather will be relatively hot on the North Coast, and hot to very hot in the rest of the regions, with maximum temperatures exceeding the mid-thirties Celsius in a number of areas, including the capital, Cairo. Winds will be variable, light to moderate in speed, and sometimes active.

The Khamaseen depression will be centered in the north of the Republic on Sunday/Monday night, with warmer-than-usual weather at night, except for the coasts.

The low pressure system is centered in the north of the country before moving toward the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, nighttime temperatures will rise, and the weather will be warmer than usual in various regions. After midnight, northwesterly winds will blow across the northwest of the country, significantly lowering temperatures in those areas.

Khamasin weather conditions will prevail on Monday, with hot weather and high sand concentration in several areas.

According to the latest numerical models, the country is expected to be further affected by the Khamasin weather on Monday, with temperatures remaining several degrees Celsius higher than their average for this time of year. The weather will be hot to very hot in the northern part of Lower Egypt, extending to Greater Cairo and all parts of Upper Egypt, while temperatures will decrease in the west, where the weather will be warm, with temperatures in the twenties, in contrast to the rest of the country. Westerly to southwesterly winds are expected, sometimes brisk, causing sandstorms and increasing dust concentrations in the atmosphere.

Northwesterly air currents on Monday/Tuesday night, with a break in the heat starting in the north of the country.

During the night hours of Monday/Tuesday, the Khamasin depression will move away, and a cooler air mass will rush in behind it, accompanied by northwesterly air currents from the sea, causing the heat to break and temperatures to gradually drop, starting from the northern coasts, passing through Greater Cairo and northern Upper Egypt, where the weather will become pleasant and tend to be cold, especially in the late night hours and dawn, while it will be warm in southern Upper Egypt, God willing.

During the forecasted weather conditions, the Arab Weather Center recommends paying attention to the risks of increased dust levels in the atmosphere, as well as their impact on respiratory patients and horizontal visibility, especially in the west. Avoid prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight.

And God knows best.
