Arab Weather - The latest outputs from advanced computer modeling at the Arab Weather Regional Center, after a long wait, indicate a easing of the effects of the intense heat wave that has affected Egypt for several days and is still ongoing. This will occur on Sunday and Monday, with temperatures dropping to below 40 degrees Celsius in the capital, Cairo.

Temperatures will drop on Sunday and Monday, especially in Greater Cairo.

In detail, forecasters at the Arab Weather Center said that the effects of the severe heat wave on Egypt are expected to subside in the coming days, with temperatures dropping but remaining slightly above their average for this time of year. The weather will be moderate across all areas of the North Coast, and hot in the northern part of the Delta, Greater Cairo, and northern Upper Egypt, while it will be extremely hot in the rest of the southern regions, especially the governorates of southern Upper Egypt. Winds will be from the sea, meaning they will be northwesterly and moderate in speed, sometimes active, stirring up sand in desert and exposed areas.

For the first time in several days, temperatures drop below 40 degrees Celsius in Greater Cairo.

According to the latest data received from weather maps, especially those showing temperature trends, the maximum temperature in Greater Cairo will drop below 40 degrees Celsius after a long wait. Temperatures in the north of the country will range between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius, including the capital, Cairo. They will range between 24 and 27 degrees Celsius in the North Coast, including Alexandria. The weather will be suitable for summer resorts.

As for the rest of the southern regions, temperatures will remain within the high range, ranging between 45-48 degrees Celsius, especially in Aswan and its surrounding areas, amid extremely hot weather.

A significant drop in night temperatures and high humidity in all northern regions.

God willing, there will be a significant drop in night temperatures by the end of the week, especially in the north of the country, so that the weather will be generally pleasant and humid in the northern regions of Egypt, and tending to be hot in the southern regions, with the appearance of low clouds during the early morning hours in parts, especially Sinai and the Delta, and they will be in the form of water mist in some areas, especially on agricultural roads and those close to water bodies.

And God knows best.
