Egypt: A hot air mass will affect the country at the beginning of the week, with thunderstorms in some areas.

Arab Weather - The latest weather forecasts from Arab Weather indicate that temperatures are expected to rise gradually starting tomorrow, Saturday, with the peak of the rise in temperatures reaching its peak by the middle of next week.

A hot air mass will affect the country on Sunday and will continue for several days.

God willing, the country is expected to be affected starting next Sunday by a hot air mass as a result of the high pressure system expanding further into the region. The weather will become hot across the region, with temperatures exceeding average levels by more than 4-6 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures are expected to peak on Monday, with Cairo expected to reach 40°C by Monday afternoon, while temperatures will be in the low 30s in other regions and exceed 40°C in the southern regions.

Tropical moisture flows towards the far south of the country

Weather maps indicate the possibility of tropical moisture flowing towards the south of the country on Saturday and Sunday, which will create an opportunity for cumulus clouds to form as a result of the high humidity in the upper layers of the atmosphere, coinciding with high temperatures. It is not unlikely that these clouds will develop into thunderstorms accompanied by heavy rains at times in the far southwest of the New Valley Governorate. Warnings are being issued regarding the formation of descending winds in those areas and the formation of dust storms at times.
