Egypt | A noticeable drop in temperatures and strong winds as a cold air mass approaches the country | ArabiaWeather

Arab Weather – Many models and indicators at the Arab Weather Center indicate that the eastern Mediterranean basin region is expected to be affected by a Siberian cold wave. Its effects will reach Egypt in the form of a cold air mass accompanied by a noticeable and tangible drop in temperatures in the northern regions of the republic, reaching northern Upper Egypt, starting from Sunday. Where the maximum temperature in the capital, Cairo, is likely to be around 19 degrees Celsius.

As time passes, the cold air mass is expected to continue to flow and deepen further into Egyptian territory. The noticeable drop in temperatures is also expected to include the rest of the southern Egyptian regions during next Monday, God willing. The influence of the cold polar air mass over Egyptian territory is expected to continue until the end of the week, God willing.

Strong surface wind activity in these areas

Weather forecasters said that the cold air mass is expected to be accompanied by strong winds that stir up dust and sand during Sunday in large areas of the country, which may sometimes reach the level of a storm in exposed areas, especially on the northern coasts overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where some wind gusts may reach more than 70 km/h in coastal areas. While it becomes less severe in the rest of the interior areas, it remains active in the rest of the northern regions and may sometimes stir up sand and dust in some exposed areas as well.

Therefore, it is necessary to warn and be careful of the danger of high waves that may reach a height of 5 meters, and thus cause disruption to maritime navigation due to high wind speeds.

God knows best.
