Egypt braces for continued hot and humid weather Wednesday

Egypt is set to endure another day of hot and humid weather, according to the Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA). The high humidity will make the temperatures feel one to two degrees Celsius warmer than they actually are.

Daytime temperatures will be hot and humid in northern Egypt, including Greater Cairo, with readings expected to hit 34C. Southern Egypt will experience very hot conditions, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 41C in Upper Egypt. Coastal areas like the northwestern coast will see slightly cooler temperatures around 28C.

The Egyptian Meteorological Authority (EMA) forecasts hot and humid weather to continue across Egypt.

Active winds are predicted for parts of the northern coast, Lower Egypt, and Greater Cairo, blowing at speeds of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour. These winds could cause intermittent sand and dust storms in Upper and Lower Egypt, South Sinai, and the Red Sea Governorate. There's also a slight chance of light, insignificant drizzle in some northern coastal areas and cities along the Suez Canal.

The EMA advises citizens to stay updated on weather forecasts and take precautions, particularly during periods of fog and strong winds, to mitigate any adverse effects.
