Manar Ghanem, a spokesperson from the Egyptian Meteorological Association (EMA), said Storm Daniel will continue to make itself felt across Egypt through Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Greater Cairo witnessed light rains during the afternoon.
“The [expected] amount of rain will not impact daily activities in Greater Cairo and Lower Egypt, but it will be higher in the coastal areas,” Ghanem added.
Clouds over parts of the Greater Cairo, the northwestern coasts, and the Nile Delta will reduce visibility, she cautioned.
Intermittent rain is expected on parts of the northwest coast, northern Nile Delta, and the Suez Canal on Tuesday.
“Starting on Thursday, the effect of the depression will disappear completely,” Ghanem affirmed in her statement.
However, wind is expected to continue through Thursday.
Temperatures
On Wednesday, the temperature in the Greater Cairo area is expected to reach a high of 33 degrees Celsius, according to the EMA.
Meanwhile, the North Coast will be slightly cooler, with highs around 30 degrees.
On the other hand, South Sinai, northern Upper Egypt, and southern Upper Egypt will be hotter, with highs of 37, 35, and 39 degrees, respectively.
On Thursday, highs will stay the same in the Greater Cairo area and the North Coast.
But it will be slightly cooler in South Sinai, northern Upper Egypt and southern Upper Egypt, which will have highs of 36, 34, and 38 degrees, respectively.
On Friday, temperatures will be one degree higher across the country.
Saturday's weather forecast across the country is identical to Friday's, except in southern Upper Egypt, which is expected to hit 40 degrees.
On Sunday, highs will hit 36 in northern Upper Egypt and 42 in southern Upper Egypt.
