Arab Weather - Weather experts at the Arab Weather Regional Center are following up on the latest computer modeling results, which indicate that the eastern Mediterranean basin will be affected, starting Wednesday and during Thursday, by a rainy, cold, and stormy low-pressure system accompanied by a very cold air mass of polar origin.

 

The effects of the low pressure system affect Egypt in the form of a significant drop in temperatures, strong winds, and possibly rain.

God willing, the effects of the cold air mass accompanying the low pressure system are expected to extend towards Egypt on Wednesday and deepen on Thursday, where temperatures will gradually and noticeably drop to be lower than their averages for this time of year, especially on Thursday. During the day, cold weather will prevail in various northern regions, including the capital Cairo, while temperatures will be moderate in the southern regions.

 

With the appearance of clouds at different heights, there is a chance of scattered showers of rain in some areas of the North Coast.

 

During the night hours, the weather is remarkably cold, and night temperatures are colder than usual for this time of year.

 

Strong winds and heavy seas

Northwesterly winds are expected to blow at an active speed in all northern regions, accompanied by strong gusts that will cause dust and sand waves, especially on desert and exposed roads. As for the sea, the winds will be strong and accompanied by strong gusts that will lead to severe disturbance in the sea waves, with the wave height exceeding 5 meters near the shore and in the depths.

 

The air system is still under surveillance.

Weather experts at the Arab Weather Center said that computer models are still suffering from confusion regarding the low pressure system and its effects on the Republic, as it is not possible to take adequate control of matters from today, and we are waiting for more updates, which we will provide you with, God willing, in the coming days.

 

Important recommendations from Arab Weather:

Beware of the dangers of strong winds in the northern regions, especially on Thursday

Avoid going to the sea when the waves are very rough.

Wear heavy winter clothes to cope with the cold weather expected in the weather on Thursday

 

God knows best.
